Loved You Better

Three, four You had this beautiful way about you You had this want in your touch and softness in your eyes I could be myself when I was around you It scared me to death, but I never felt so alive You said you pictured yourself growin' old with me Now I'm just a toxic heartbroken memory Of some boy who can never give you what you need I shoulda loved you better But I couldn't even love myself Said that we're in this together Then I didn't even try to help When you needed me, I wasn't there to get you through it all I shoulda loved you better Shoulda loved you better Better, better, better I know it's late, and I know it's been some time But I still think about the days when you were mine But the years go fast, but the nights last long 'cause It's hard to sleep when I'm not holdin' on to you What a mess I've made, a mess I've made of you Now I know it's far too late I shoulda loved you better But I couldn't even love myself Said we're in this together Then I didn't even try to help When you needed me, I wasn't there to get you through it all I shoulda loved you better Shoulda loved you better (Better, better) Oh, I let you down a thousand times And left you on your knees If you find someone, I hope he's everything that I can't be I shoulda loved you better But I couldn't even love myself Said that we're in this together Then I didn't even try to help When you needed me, I wasn't there to get you through it all I shoulda loved you better Shoulda loved you better Better, better, better
