I know I'm probably better off on my ownThan lovin' a man who didn't knowWhat he had when he had itAnd I see the permanent damage you did to meNever again, I just wish I could forget when it was magicI wish it wasn't 4 AM, standing in the mirrorSaying to myself, "You know you had to do it"I know the bravest thing I ever did was runSometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you againBut I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better manAnd I know why we had to say goodbyeLike the back of my handBut I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better manA better manI know I'm probably better off all aloneThan needing a man who could change his mindAt any given minuteAnd it was always on your termsI waited on every careless wordHoping they might turn sweet againLike it was in the beginningBut your jealousy, oh, I can hear it nowTalking down to me like I'd always be aroundPush my love away like it was some kind of loaded gunOh, you never thought I'd runSometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you againBut I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better manAnd I know why we had to say goodbyeLike the back of my handBut I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better manA better manI hold onto this pride because these days it's all I haveAnd I gave to you my bestAnd we both know you can't say thatI wish you were a better manI wonder what we would've becomeIf you were a better manWe might still be in loveIf you were a better manYou would've been the oneIf you were a better manYeah, yeahSometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you againBut I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better manAnd I know why we had to say goodbyeLike the back of my handBut I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better manA better man(Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)We might still be in love, if you were a better man(But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)Yeah, yeahI know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my handBut I just miss you and I just wish you were a better manA better manWe might still be in loveIf you were a better manYou would've been the oneIf you were a better man
