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
Something underneath the skin won't let you be
And you try to keep it in, but Ican see

The wo manbefore me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
SometimesIthink 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
