Well, you wake the love that sleeps inside
And dreamed that she had never died
Wipe that tear but you don't know why
Boy, you're pretty but you're just not for me
Better love I do not see
This girl, she had it kinda sweet
Till fame swept her off her feet
See's nothing she did before
Lets her colors hit the floor
Scars are in her name
And she scars me in blame
Hey Scarlet, you're not the same
So be careful what you choose
I feel love for me and you
I'm not ashamed
So I'll walk another mile
I help you find out, child
I don't know what to do
I feel lost without you
Better love will come to you
So I flew West to see her part
Two weeks since the music died
I watch the camera shoot this girl
Seems to me a hollow pearl
Mother sat me down
What's it like, oh my boy to be so destroyed
So be careful what you choose
I felt love for me and you
I'm not ashamed
So I'll walk another mile
To help you find out, child
I don't know what to do
I feel lost without you
Better love to take you through
So here I sit, some years have passed
I say I don't but I miss her bad
I smell her in my sheets, you see
Like she's sleeping next to me
She'll say
"Jack, I'm leaving now
So don't you wait up for me
'Cause better love, I'm yet to see"
