Lyrics

If I’d Have Been A Better Man
(Steve Giberson 2020)

We were crashing to the end; Love’s passion coming down in flames
Some pictures got torn up; We started throwing awful names
Last thing you said to me; just before I heard the door slam
Kept running through my mind; “I wish you’d been a better man”

I sat in the silence of the aftermath; Going through the wreckage of our past
There I found some charred pieces; of former loves that didn’t last
Jim Beam helped me douse the flames; and I began to understand;
Just how it would’ve gone; If I’d have been a better man

Chorus
If I’d have been a better man; I never would’ve loved you
I would’ve kept my heart true; walked away from the temptations
In your sparkling eyes of blue
You knew me when you met me; now it’s hard for me to understand
How I ever could’ve loved you; if I’d have been.a better man

They say.hindsight’s 20/20; and I know this never was our plan
But be careful what you wish for; we would’ve never loved
If I’d have been a better man
