He asked who does it better, and he asked her like she knew But I could love him cleaner than she ever could do Not louder, not colder, not with a hand half-stayed True love don’t make you wait around, it don’t come in shades It don’t turn you into maybe, it don’t leave room to choose It don’t wear a pretty promise and then hand you back the blues She could never love him like I do True and unselfish, steady through Love don’t hesitate, it don’t play around It don’t make you one of many, it don’t let you down If I’m in, I’m in, I don’t cut and run That’s the difference, and I love him better than anyone He let her in, he let her win, never took my side Never stood up for my name when I had nowhere left to hide Gave her every little weapon, let her sharpen what she knew Helped him hate me with the echoes of the shame he threw When the ones you trusted vanish and the bright lights fade to black You can’t blame the road you’re on when you never look back Nobody left to save you from the truth you can’t outrun Even your heart knows the damage before your head is done She could never love him like I do True and unselfish, steady through Love don’t hesitate, it don’t play around It don’t make you one of many, it don’t let you down If I’m in, I’m in, I don’t cut and run That’s the difference, and I love him better than anyone The woman you left alone learned how to stand her ground While you were chasing somebody else, I was still around Not for the title, not for the pride, just to hold him close and true And when the smoke cleared off of everything, the only real thing was you She could never love him like I do True and unselfish, steady through Love don’t hesitate, it don’t play around It don’t make you one of many, it don’t let you down If I’m in, I’m in, I don’t cut and run That’s the difference, and I love him better than anyoneI love him better, I love him better Not for a season, not for whatever I stayed, I meant it, I held my line True love don’t ask twice, it knows where to shine I love him better, and I always will
