Faron Young - Better Things Than These lyrics

You thought you'd set the world on fire That life was just a song You thought if you'd try hard enough Things couldn't turn out wrong. How feeble is the string of those Whose heartaches never ease But there'll may be a chance for me For better things than these. So many battles fought and lost You've heard of constantly For someone left to pay the cost And this time it's mean. But there's one thing I'm hopin' for Someday the pain will leave Tomorrow may rebuild to me Much better things than these. You've learned to love somebody new It seems that I can't bear To see you in another's arms And know you're happy there. My heart is broken still I try A jealous heart to please It's hard to smile but God may show me The better things than these...
