Better Man

I know I'm probably better off on my own

Than loving 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 a.m.

Standing in the mirror, sayin' 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

Boy, you never thought I'd run

Sometimes in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

And 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

A better man

I hold on to this pride because these days it's all I have

And I gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that

You can't say that

I wish you were a better man

I wonder what we would have become if you were a better man

We might still be in love if you were a better man

You would have been the one if you were a better man

Yeah

Sometimes in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

And 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

We might still be in love, if you were a better man

Better man
