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 four 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
Oh 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 talkin 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
Oh I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
A better man

Oooo a 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

Sometimes in the middle of the night I can feel you again
But I still 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
Oh I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man
A better man

Ooooo a better man

Better man
