Better Than You Found Me

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

You’re walking quickly

I never did

But I keep up

You’ve got a big plan

I was just breathing

In and out

Now I like the way

I’m intoxicated

By your mind, love

Yea I like the way that

Following you

I’m finding myself

So if you have to leave,

Baby leave a trace

So when I’m lost

And feeling lonely

I can always find your face

To tell you only fools

Think they can stay this high forever

But fool me twice

Or twenty-thousand times

I’d fall over and over

‘Cause your strength has made me stronger

And through wider eyes I see

And darling if you have to leave

I know you’ll leave me

Better than you found me

Now I’m just thinking

Darling, don’t listen

My mind runs

We’ve got a good thing

Let’s keep it going

Our whole lives long

Maybe I’m crazy

Maybe I’m asking you

For too much

But I like the way

I’d do anything

To make you feel my love

So if you have to leave,

Baby leave a trace

So when I’m lost

And feeling lonely

I can always find your face

To tell you only fools

Think they can stay this high forever

But fool me twice

Or twenty-thousand times

I’d fall over and over

‘Cause your strength has made me stronger

And through wider eyes I see

And darling if you have to leave

I know you’ll leave me

Better than you found me

Leave my heart a little kinder

And my mind a little wiser

Leave me with all of the things

That I might need

To move on without you

Feel your strength

When I’m not around you

And I’ll keep hoping someday

I might be

The man you see in me
