i can see you turn away when i ask what for
You say it isn't anything, but i'm not sure
Something 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

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

If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Don't let them keep us apart
You oughta 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
Nothing's gonna hurt me how, can't you see
I already made it 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
