  • @catemcconnell7249
    Love the country / western feel of this. The sweet music underscores TS's heartbreak.
  • @MysticMayhem13
    I relate to this song more than I want to admit 😢 you never fully heal from mental/emotional abuse 😞
  • @horselover13
    the line "i wish it wasn't 4am, standing in the mirror saying to myself you know you had to do it" hits so hard
  • I really admire this song It is one of my favourite songs by Taylor even over her bigger hits
  • @horselover13
    I CANT PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH THIS SOMG MEANS TO ME
  • @JahkobeV1
    "I wonder what this song wouldve become if it were a single..."
  • Love this song by both artists. Taylor is an amazing singer and songwriter. She is underrated. This song reminds me of the reason I ran long ago but the only part is that I don’t miss him. I left too late to even like any of what was left of him. Twelve years of being talked down to and devalued is far behind me!!
  • @marley_swiftie
    This song is litteraly the relationship of Hardin and Tessa ! But it's the perspective of Tessa, this one.
  • _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 4 AM, 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 [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 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 [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 (Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again) We might still be in love, if you were a Better Man (But I just miss you and I just wish 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
