Story Behind The Song

My best friend, ever the champion for all causes, needed to end a two relationship with a man who was making her physically ill, whom she was all bills paying for, and who burned down her house. This song is a conversation from me to her, and in a way me to him.

Song Description

A co-dependent woman, in love with a dysfunctional light-user man is told by her best friend and family to stop the bad relationship and treat herself as she deserves tl be treated.

Lyrics

(You?re) Better Than This
(c) 2004, words and music, C. Coadic

you started slow sharing him secretly
you needed love needed words needed to be
he held your hand drew you near with big sweet dreams
he lied to her lies to you lies to me

the sweeter your kiss
the taste of your lips
the tighter his grip
you?re better than this

she warned you then warns you now stay away
the lovely young wife of your troubled high life
while you had a man that he choose to ignore
as he lay his new baby forever at your door

your friends your own family say
he?s no good for an HCV jewel
you?re caring for him providing for three
to this man of the house except to you

the sweeter your kiss
the taste of your lipsEverything turns
the tighter his grip
you?re better than this

he?ll never save you
he?ll never bathe you in your best
he desecrates you
because you do it yourself

now he?s cried wolf huffed and puffed burned you down
searching for love he is more lost than found
hiding the romance now defensively
is hiding your personal kingdom plainly

the more that you give
the more that he takes
the more that you live
the more he can fake
the sweeter your kiss
the taste of your lips
the tighter his grip
you?re better than this

he?ll never save you
he?ll never bathe you in your best
he desecrates you
because you do it yourself
