Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

You wanna fight that�??s fine
You wanna scream, alright
Go on and say what you need
But baby let it be me

Don�??t wanna leave this room
Without me showing you
You�??re everything that I need
So baby let it be me

Before you leave me standing here
With nothing but our wasted tears

When I said I do, I wasn�??t telling you just some lines from a song
Of some old country tune
Or when I took your hand and you took my name
All time stood still with God and family
You were, you are, you know you�??ll always be the better part of me

Well I don�??t always say what I should probably say
Sometimes a man like me can dig a hole down deep
Oh baby I got time, yeah we could go all night so we can say what we need
Yeah, I just want you to see

That when I said I do, I wasn�??t telling you just some lines from a song
From some old country tune
That when I took your hand and you took my name
All time stood still with God and family
You were, you are, you know you�??ll always be the better part of me

And through the fire and through the hopeless rain
No matter what may come I said always

When I said I do, I wasn�??t telling you just some lines from a song
Of some old country tune
When I took your hand and you took my name
All time stood still with God and family
You were, you are, you know you�??ll always be

Oh you were, you are, you know you�??ll always be
You were, you are, you know you�??ll always be the better part of me
And oh, the better part of me
