The Woman Before Me

I can see you turn away

When I ask what for

You say it isn't anything

But I'm not sure

Somethin' underneath the skin

Won't let you be

And you try to keep it in

But I can see

The woman before me

Must have been hard on you

'Cause that hurt in your eyes

I never put you through

Sometimes I think

You must be talking to

The woman before me and you

Sometimes in an argument

It will show

When you go a little farther than

You meant to go

I know you don't mean the things

That you say

I just wanna ease the pain

That's in your way

The woman before me

Must have been hard on you

'Cause that hurt in your eyes

I never put you through

Sometimes I think

You must be talking to

The woman before me and you

If there are sorrows that bring back a tear

Don't let them keep us apart

You ought to know you've got nothing to fear

Here in my heart

'Cause you and I will never be

Like the past

Whatever kind of memories

That you have

Nothin's gonna hurt you now

Can't you see

I already made a vow

That I can keep

But the woman before me

Must have been hard on you

'Cause that hurt in your eyes

I never put you through

Sometimes I think

You must be talking to

The woman before me and you

Sometimes I think

You must be talking to

The woman before me and you
