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

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

I just miss you

And I just wish you were a better man

A better man

Ooh, ooh, ooh, 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

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

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

A better man
