Lyrics:

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

CHORUS
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

REPEAT CHORUS
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

REPEAT CHORUS

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

    bravery is leaving a toxic relationship and knowing that you deserve better.
  • Left an abusive relationship. The right thing but doesn’t take away the grief. This song has always hit hard. Thank you Taylor.
  • Better Man is definitely one of the most heartbreaking song in this album.
  • FACT : "Better Man" captures the feeling of getting out of a toxic, perhaps abusive, relationship and accepting the sorrow that follows the breakup.❤️
  • @katiarostova
    This song hurts so much. Every lyric pierces through my heart. It’s so painful to love someone who doesn’t see your worth until you’ve finally decided that you had enough.
  • @surreal_hearts
    'the bravest thing I ever did was run' this line resonates so much, it reminds me of everything I got over by just moving away from them
  • “You would’ve been the one if you were a better man” “It would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one”
  • @thumpersmom2278
    “The bravest thing I ever did was run”…. This line deserves so much more praise 🍂🧣❤️
  • @polyester8844
    I'm so happy Taylor has finally recorded 'Better Man'. The most awaited From The Vault song other than all too well 10 mins version, I must say
  • @rixyria587
    It's sad because I listen to this song everytime I miss my dad. "I wonder what we would've become if you were a better man."
  • @SwsPtvA7x
    Lolol I didn't realize with heartbreak comes anxiety and lack of sleep for me. Her mentioning the middle of the night and staying up at 4am is so relatable. It's crazy how bad it gets. Hope everyone is doing okay. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone
  • @deeyana_dy
    THIS HITS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU DEDICATE THIS SONG NOT FOR A MAN FROM A PAST RELATIONSHIP, BUT FOR YOUR FATHER 😭🖐️ I just wish he was a better man for my mom.
  • @qkimmmy88
    "sometimes, in the middle of the night i can feel you again" "the bravest thing i ever did was run" this lyric hits me so hard
  • @danbowers20
    One of the best songwriters of our time, at the very top of her game. The world really is a better place with her in it.
  • "Now they say, my album Red is filled with too many breakup songs", but we're here for it, TayTay, we love crying to your songs, we seriously do.
  • No one knows how excited I was for this song. I kept listening to the Bluebird Cafe performance over and over again. Now that its here, I can't stop the tears-
  • @shannonsalem
    This song sits differently when it's dedicated to your dad. I know it has the lyrics in love and the one and in the middle of the night I can feel you again.. but none of those lines have to be romantic in meaning even if they were written that way. And that is the beauty of music and Taylor's skills. When I hear this song from her.. I hear the lines like we might still be in love and think of the love between a father and daughter.. the line.. you might still be the one.. I think of my dad being the man to raise me and be the man I look up too.. and the line sometimes in the middle of the night I can feel you again.. I picture my dad carrying me to bed late at night when I had fell asleep.. but unfortunately he wasn't a better man. But I am thankful that Taylor gave me a song I can release my feelings too. Thank you Taylor.
  • @ashlymanosca
    from her "in the middle of the night when I'm in these dreams it's like a million little stars spelling out your name" to "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" real quick. Nothing hurts more than realizing how your once romantic nights turned into nostalgic ones.

    I love this song! 💗 Its not angry. Its not blaming. Its transparency and vulnerability. 💗
