Lyrics
0:21I first met you in my darker days
0:23Long nights in a drunken haze
0:26Those nights seemed to fade away
0:28Replaced by something so much better than my younger ways
0:31Hunger games
0:31Pursuing you like an addict
0:33Without you in my life
0:34My life is just static
0:36Just noise
0:37Scratched out
0:37And just void
0:38Found out
0:38It's a mountain you have to climb
0:40Forget toys
0:41I ain't playing no more
0:42'Cause I've grown into a man
0:43And I'm filling my heart with all the love I can stand
0:46And I don't give a d**n who knows or understands
0:48These plans we made together
0:50These three tightened strands
0:51Let us both hold on tight through the fight
0:53Thanking god every night for the girl in my life
0:57And for that we'll both be alright
0:59Yeah yeah
1:00We'll both be alright
1:02I know she's with me through the good and the bad
1:04And she don't care about the goods that we have
1:07Yeah
1:08She will outlast
1:09When all things pass
1:11She's my better half
1:12I know she's with me on these long lonely nights
1:15Through the calm
1:15Through the storms
1:16And the fights
1:17Yeah
1:18She will outlast
1:19When all things pass
1:21She's my better half
1:24Someone who knows I'm not perfect
1:26Still calls me a winner
1:27Just an average man trying to provide the next dinner
1:30Trying to take care of her needs but she deserves better
1:32What she sees in a guy like me
1:34I'll never get her
1:35But whatever
1:35She makes me feel respected and blessed
1:37I confess
1:38She's the girl that put an x to the rest
1:40The rest don't contest
1:41She's the top
1:42She's the best
1:43And once you understand you won't settle for less
1:45I confess
1:46It might sound corny or cliché'
1:48But I
1:48Look ahead after 40 when I'm gray
1:50You think I'll really care what other people say
1:53When I've got a beautiful girl that loves me still the same
1:56So you can chase skirts all day
1:58And make fun of every verse I say
2:01And I'll go back to my girl each night
2:03And with that
2:04I'ma be alright
2:05I'ma be alright
2:06I know she's with me through the good and the bad
2:09And she don't care about the goods that we have
2:11Yeah
2:12She will outlast
2:14When all things pass
2:15She's my better half
2:16I know she's with me on these long lonely nights
2:19Through the calm
2:20Through the storms
2:21And the fights
2:22Yeah
2:23She will outlast
2:24When all things pass
2:25She's my better half
2:30If you love someone
2:33If you've found something good
2:35If you love someone
2:37Love someone
2:38Love them like you should
2:41If you love someone
2:43If you've found something good
2:46If you love someone
2:47Love someone
2:49Love them like you should
2:50If you love her
2:51You tell her every day
2:52You'll never let her go
2:53Never let her get away
2:55You'll make it through whatever
2:56Moving on to brighter days
2:57But you gotta do better
2:59Than the average in the game
3:00You've gotta give it all
3:01If you wanna turn a page
3:03Moving through the chapter
3:04Go out of your way
3:05To make her feel loved
3:07To make her feel okay
3:08This is all you need
3:09The rest will fall in place
3:10Hey
3:11I know she's with me through the good and the bad
3:13And she don't care about the goods that we have
3:16Yeah
3:17She will outlast
3:18When all things pass
3:20She's my better half
3:21I know she's with me on these long lonely nights
3:24Through the calm
3:24Through the storms
3:25And the fights
3:26Yeah
3:27She will outlast
3:28When all things pass
3:30She's my better half
3:40She's my better half
3:51She's my better half
