loved you better

Jonas Brothers

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 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
