Loved You Better

One, two, one

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 can never give you what you need

I should've 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've loved you better

Should've 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 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've 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've loved you better

Should've 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've 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've loved you better

Should've loved you better

Better, better, better
