“She Deserves Better” Verse 1 You broke the glass and called it weather Left me bleeding, said, “We’ll heal together” But every time I reached for truth You handed me another lie to chew You’d vanish in the dark for days Then walk back in like nothing changed And every sorry hit the same A match, a spark, a different flame Pre-Chorus I tried to love you through the wreckage Tried to call your soul back home But love can’t live where truth is missing And a heart can’t raise a child alone Chorus Now there’s a precious little girl between us Two tiny hands, two innocent eyes And if you can’t be honest for her future Then don’t you dress your damage up as love disguised If you can’t own the pain, the lies, the chaos If you can’t break the cycle you keep dragging through Then call it what it is, don’t make excuses She deserves better Better than me and you like this Better than the wreckage you refuse Verse 2 I forgave more than I should mention Built you shelter out of my intentions But mercy ain’t a license, no To keep on burning what you say you hold Accountability’s a mirror And you keep turning from your face Like somehow blame can raise a baby Like silence washes off the stains Pre-Chorus And every wound you never owned Became another stone she’ll hold If you won’t change, then say it plain But don’t let her inherit your ghosts Chorus Now there’s a precious little girl between us Two tiny hands, two innocent eyes And if you can’t be honest for her future Then don’t you dress your damage up as love disguised If you can’t own the pain, the lies, the chaos If you can’t break the cycle you keep dragging through Then call it what it is, don’t make excuses She deserves better Better than me and you like this Better than the wreckage you refuse Bridge Monster doesn’t always scream Sometimes it smiles, denies, retreats Sometimes it says, “That’s not what happened” While a child learns what broken means And I won’t teach her love is begging I won’t teach her trust is pain I won’t teach her to call it normal When somebody poisons what they name Breakdown So I forgive you But forgiveness ain’t forgetting I release you But I won’t bless the harm you’re letting live And I’ll fight for her Even if you never grow Because that little girl needs truth More than she needs a show Final Chorus There’s a precious little girl between us And she did not ask for all this shame She deserves two people brave enough to heal Not one who keeps on shifting blame So if you love her, prove it with your actions Not another tear, not another empty vow Be truthful, be better, be accountable Or step aside and let her future start right now Outro You broke trust over and over I broke trying to believe But she is still a light from Heaven And she deserves better than what you’ve been to me
