Better Man Letra

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 a.m.
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
But 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 on me
Like I'll always be around, you push my love away
Like it's some kind of loaded gun
But 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
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A better man
Better man

Wish you were a better man, oh

I hold onto this pride
'Cause 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'd become
If you were a better man

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
And I just miss you when I just wish you were a better man
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
Better man
