Loved You Better

Guess it was me that decided to go our separate ways I thought I needed the freedom to breathe, now I can't handle the change It's hard on losing a good thing, you've got an angel's face Now every morning I wake to find silence asleep in your place You were so good, good, good, yeah you were the best Then something tapped in my conscience to leave you, and I couldn't resist I should have loved you better, I guess it's on to the next Cause every time I try to reach out I get a new dead end I should have loved you better, I should have stayed by your side Instead I shocked you with shadows and traumas I've picked up through life I should have loved you better It kind of felt like dying Moving in my new place Hold this hole in my chest and I try to feel the empty ache I heard you're having a kid now, and that your new man's good Found out he proposed to you on a Christmas like a good man would You are so bright, bright, bright, the light of my life But if something stands in you way, you can't let a little piece of you die I should have loved you better, I guess it's on to the next Cause every time I try to reach out I get a new dead end I should have loved you better, I should have stayed by your side Instead I shocked you with shadows and traumas I've picked up through life How many times am I gonna throw my love away? With broken bits of my childhood and the way I was raised Tell me when will I learn that I'm not my father's mistake? Cause it feels like I'm caught underwater, under these waves I should have loved you better, but it's on to the next Cause every time I try to reach out I get a new dead end I should have loved you better, I should have made you my wife Instead I shocked you with shadows and traumas and that wasn't right I swear I'm trying to heal from my childhood but babe that takes time I should have loved you better Should have loved you better, better I should have loved you better
