Lyrics
I couldn't see you
Not the way you should be seen
You're not foolproof
And I had a foolish selfish streak
I can see it all now through the prism of hindsight
I'm not too proud to tell you you were right
Chorus:
I knew you needed me and I wasn't on your side
I couldn't fix it and I was too afraid to try
But maybe I'll be better
Better better next time
I took the easy road when the going got too tough
I just didn't know how to know you'd had enough
I wasn't there when your heart broke in two
And it's not fair that I left it all on you
Chorus 2
I knew you needed me but I couldn't cross that line
I can't fix this but I swear to God I'll try
And maybe I'll be better
Better better next time
Bridge
I can tell you now
But I couldn't tell you then
Maybe it's too late
But I had to try again
Cause it's all my fault
It's all my fault
It's all my fault
It's all on me
Chorus 3
You couldn't fix me, but God knows how you tried
It's not your failing, honey, it's all mine
But I'll be better better,
Maybe I'll better
I'll be better
Better next time
