Better Part of Me

I bought you diamonds and gold, but you hate to shine
I sing a sad lonely song, but its what you like
Lets build a home and buy fancy clothes
God knows its how we survive
I might be some years ahead, but lets start tonight

Speak truth to me
Darling and Ill be true
Speak honestly
Honestly, I cant help falling for you
The better part of me

Ive worn a path with my hands on the map of your skin
You kiss my face in the morning, and Im born again
From the fire and the sea to the birds and the bees
Ive seen where life begins
Delicate like paper kites held by the wind

Speak truth to me
Darling and Ill be true
Speak honestly
Honestly, I cant help falling for you
Everyday Ill be brand new
Thank god for you, the better part of me

There will be days were apart and Ill long for you
The nights will grow heavy and dark in solitude
But when we collide we explode in the sky, two stars
Well block out the view
Today I love you simply because I do

Speak truth to me
Darling and Ill be true
Speak honestly
Honestly, I cant help falling for you
Everyday Ill be brand new
Thank god for you, the better part of me
