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 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
