You're standing at a door I closed And locked so many years ago Expecting me to just Invite you in Are you really that naive To think that one apology Can make up for the fact You chose to split And burdened me with all this baggage You should've been better You should've been better for me I would have given I would have given anything For you to just realize All that you were leaving behind You should've been stronger You should've been stronger for me I paid a price 'cause I paid a price 'cause you were weak And put yourself first when I needed you to be at my side I learned to keep my standards low And not allow myself to hope That this might be the day You're going to change But it's not easy to forget The sting of disappointment when No matter what Each time it was the same And I can't promise it's not too late You should've been better You should've been better for me I would have given I would have given anything For you to just realize All that you were leaving behind You should've been stronger You should've been stronger for me I paid a price 'cause I paid a price 'cause you were weak And put yourself first when I needed you to be at my side A version of me from the past Is begging to give you a chance But part of me says this won't last So please don't blame me if I can't You should've been better You should've been better for me I would have given I would have given anything For you to just realize All that you were leaving behind You should've been stronger You should've been stronger for me I paid a price 'cause I paid a price 'cause you were weak And put yourself first when I needed you to be at my side
