Better Man (From The Vault) (Taylor’s Version) - Taylor Swift

Lyrics by：Taylor Swift

Composed 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 4am 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

But 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 was always on your terms

I waited on every careless word

Hoping they might turn sweet again

Like it was in the beginning

But your jealousy oh I can hear it now

Talking down to me like I'd always be around

Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun

Oh 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

But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have

And I gave to you my best and we both know 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

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

But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

Sometimes in the middle of the night I can feel you again

We might still be in love if you were a better man

I know why we had to say goodbye

Like the back of my hand

But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

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
