Better

[Verse 1] I still see your shadow in the doorway Like you never really left this place Every corner holds a memory Every silence speaks your name I’ve been trying just to move on But I’m stuck inside the past Every moment that we had, yeah I didn’t know it wouldn’t last [Pre-Chorus] I just close my eyes And dream it was back the way it was I hope and pray I was better for you [Chorus] If I could turn back time tonight I’d hold you closer, hold you right Fix every word I said too late Before we let it slip away Now I’m left with what could be All the things you’ll never see I gave my heart but lost the truth I wish I was better for you [Verse 2] Every song reminds me of you Every line cuts deeper still All the things I never told you Are the things that haunt me still I was blinded by my own ways Didn’t see what I might lose Now I’m learning from the silence What it means to really choose [Pre-Chorus] I just close my eyes And dream it was back the way it was I hope and pray I was better for you [Chorus] If I could turn back time tonight I’d hold you closer, hold you right Fix every word I said too late Before we let it slip away Now I’m left with what could be All the things you’ll never see I gave my heart but lost the truth I wish I was better for you [Bridge] Maybe it’s too late to change it Maybe you’ve already gone But I’ll carry every lesson Every right and every wrong If I ever get you back I’ll give more than I knew 'Cause losing you has shown me How to be better… true [Final Chorus] I can’t turn back time tonight But I can learn to make things right Hold onto what I didn’t see And be the man I couldn’t be Now I know what love can do And what I put you through I gave my heart but lost the truth I’ll still be better… because of you
