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 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

boy 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 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've become

if you were a 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

yeah yeah

sometimes in the middle of the

night i can feel you again

and i just miss you when 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
