BETTER MAN

Sung by Little Big Town

Lyrics by Taylor Swift

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 four 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
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
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
Better man.
