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 4am, 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 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 
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 
We might still be in love, if you were a better man 
Better man...
