Better Than Me

You taught me how to be who I should be
You taught me what it feels like to believe
You were there when I needed prayer
You made me a better me
You held my hand, gave me strength to stand
You were what I aspired to be.

I wish you could see
What you mean to me
You fought on your knees
To set me free
Then you flew away
On your angel wings
For a moment I
Was better than me

You'll never know what a hero you are to me
Or how much I owe for the things I know and things I dream
Wish I could bring you back just to have you back
If only for a day
I wish you were here so that you could hear
All the things I didn't say

Don't want you to see
What's become of me
I fell apart
At the seams
Barely holding on
'Til again we meet
So that I can be
That better me

But you're not here anymore
I can't come knocking at your door
You can't invite me in
With a sparkle and a grin
Just like you did before

Now I'm trapped in a world
That can't see me
And I'm not who I Want to be
So it's a game
Of wait and see
I'm waiting to be
Better than . . .

Author's Note

These are the lyrics to a song that I wrote. It is, in effect, a lamentation for the loss of someone very dear to me, and for the loss of who I was when she was here.

This is very beautiful, I liked how it flowed. It is such a bittersweet song, I think it is very well written. It's a nice way to express your feelings of loss. I think at the end of the song I think you should put "me" either after the dots or the next line down, but that's just my opinion.

Good Job
