There’s always someone better—this truth I’ve come to know, What one man passed on gladly, another will bestow. He shrugged at things that made you bright, then walked away unkind; But someone else will hold those sparks and keep them in his mind. The quirks your ex called noisy, the stumbles that he feared, Are treasures to a different heart that sees you, revered. Where one man saw your edges, sharp and hard to tame, Another sees the constellations written in your name. Don’t be afraid to leave a love that lacks the light, To trade safe compromises for someone who gets it right. There’s courage in the leaving, a faith that won’t regret— Because somewhere waits the person who loves you without debt. So never settle smaller than the woman that you are, You’re worth a thousand favors, not just one lukewarm star. Hold out for the kind of love that lifts you when you fall— There will always be a better one; you only have to call.

Never Settle
There’s always someone better—this truth I’ve come to know, What one man passed on gladly, another will bestow. He shrugged at things that made you bright, then walked away unkind; But someone else will hold those sparks and keep them in his mind. The quirks your ex called noisy, the stumbles that he feared, Are treasures to a different heart that sees you, revered. Where one man saw your edges, sharp and hard to tame, Another sees the constellations written in your name. Don’t be afraid to leave a love that lacks the light, To trade safe compromises for someone who gets it right. There’s courage in the leaving, a faith that won’t regret— Because somewhere waits the person who loves you without debt. So never settle smaller than the woman that you are, You’re worth a thousand favors, not just one lukewarm star. Hold out for the kind of love that lifts you when you fall— There will always be a better one; you only have to call.
If they wanted to... they would.
