• There's always something better to do
    Never mind how much it hurts
    There's always something better to do
    Every day, every hour, every minute

    There's always someone more important
    Another friend who needs your time
    There's always someone more fun
    Someone to preoccupy your mind

    There's always another place you have to be
    And sometimes that I understand
    There's always another room you need to be in
    When I want to hold your hand

    You complain that I never want to be around you
    That I never give you much care
    But baby can't you see
    That I'm always there

    There's always a time I'm willing to listen
    To each need and care
    There's always a time when I will hold you
    And simply be there

    I will always push away my problems
    To listen yours
    Big and small
    I will always give a little more
    Than my limit, just for you

    But there's never enough time for my tears
    For my problems, my pain
    How can we have a relationship when all I do is give
    And all you do is take

    You promised you'd be different
    And I guess in that its true
    I've never given myself the way I give to you
    Never felt this bone deep pain

    There's always another person, place, or thing more important than me
    Than the woman you said you'd make your wife
    There's always something worth risking our friendship or even your life
    There's always something more important to you than me

    You may want to call me selfish but you know thats not true
    You've said many times there isn't a selfish bone in my body
    You've looked and its true

    You can try to say whatever you wish
    But all I know is this
    If there is always something more important
    Why should I keep holding on

    I am not a dead thing
    But I die a little each day inside
    When there's always something more important
    To you than I
