More Like Her

She's beautiful

In her simple little way

She don't have too much to say when she gets mad

She understands

She don't let go of anything

Even when the pain gets really bad

I guess I shoulda been more like that

You had it all

For a pretty little while

And somehow you made me smile when I was sad

You took a chance

On a bruised and beaten heart

And then you realized you wanted what you had

I guess I should've been more like that

I should have held on to my pride

I should have never let you lie

I guess you got what you deserve

I guess I shoulda been more like her

Forgiving you

Well, she's stronger than I am

You don't look much like a man from where I'm at

It's plain to see

Desperation showed its truth

You love her as she loves you with all she has

I guess I should've been more like that

I should have held on to my pride

I should have never let you lie

I guess you got what you deserve

I guess I shoulda been more like her

She's beautiful in her simple little way
