Better Man
I know
I’m probably better off on my own
Than lovin' a man who
Didn’t know what he had when he had it.
And I see
The permanent damage you did to me.
Never again,
I just wish I could forget when it was magic.
I wish it wasn’t 4 am,
Standing in the mirror, saying to myself:
You know you had to do it.
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man.
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man,
A better man.
I know
I’m probably better off all alone
Than needing a man who could
Change his mind at any given minute.
And it’s always on your terms
I’m hanging on every careless word
Hoping it might turn sweet again
Like it was in the beginning.
But your jealousy, I can hear it now.
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around.
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun.
No, you never thought I’d run.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man.
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man,
A better man...
Better man...
I hold onto this pride
Because these days it’s all I have
And I gave you my best,
And we both know you can’t say that...
No, You can’t say that...
If you were a better man...
You would’ve been the one, If you were a better man,
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man.
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
And I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man,
A better man...
Better man...
We might still be in love, if you were a better man,
You would’ve been the one, If you were a better man.
