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 growing old with me
Now I'm just a toxic heartbroken memory of
Some boy who could never give you
What you need
I should have 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 should have loved you better
I should have 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 and
The years go fast
But the nights last long 'cause
It's hard to sleep
When I'm not holding 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 should have 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 should have loved you better
I should have 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 should have 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 should have loved you better
I should have loved you better
Better better better
