You're standing at a door I closed
cnd locked so many years ago
Expecting me to just
Invite you in

cre you really that naive
To think that one apology
Can make up for the fact
You chose to split

cnd burdened me with all this baggage

You should've been better
You should've been better for me
I would have given
I would have given anything
For you to just realize
cll that you were leaving behind

You should've been stronger
You should've been stronger for me
I paid a price ‘cause
I paid a price ‘cause you were weak
cnd put yourself first when
I needed you to be at my side

I learned to keep my standards low
cnd not allow myself to hope
That this might be the day
You're going to change

But it's not easy to forget
The sting of disappointment when
No matter what
Each time it was the same

cnd I can't promise it's not too late

You should've been better
You should've been better for me
I would have given
I would have given anything
For you to just realize
cll that you were leaving behind

You should've been stronger
You should've been stronger for me
I paid a price ‘cause
I paid a price ‘cause you were weak
cnd put yourself first when
I needed you to be at my side

c version of me from the past
Is begging to give you a chance
But part of me says this won't last
So please don't blame me if I can't

You should've been better
You should've been better for me
I would have given
I would have given anything
For you to just realize
cll that you were leaving behind

You should've been stronger
You should've been stronger for me
I paid a price ‘cause
I paid a price ‘cause you were weak
cnd put yourself first when
I needed you to be at my side
