Better Man

(album: fairground - 2017)

Close your eyes and don't let open
Listen out for the front door closing
Wait a minute just to let it all sink in
'Cause tonight she's gone forever
I never meant to hurt you, darling
Never thought we would end up parting
Sometimes life ain't how you want it
Some people don't stay together

Oh, I'm still grieving over you
And I must have been mad mistreating you

One drunk night, so much and you're losing touch
You realise you've been dreaming
She's gone, she's never coming back
She's in the arms of a better man
Should have told her she was perfect
Should have put a diamond on her hand
She's gone and she's never coming home
She's in the arms of a better man

I still keep your picture in my wallet
Our first movie stub, I still got it
The weekends are like drunk dial warfare
And I'm major failure at it

Oh, begging at your door at 2 A.M
Calling out your name to the neighbours
Oh, stuffed into a taxi by my friends again

One drunk night, so much and you're losing touch
You realise you've been dreaming
She's gone, she's never coming back
She's in the arms of a better man
She's in the arms of a better man

I don't wanna make you cry
I just want you in my life

One drunk night, so much and you're losing touch
You realise you've been dreaming
She's gone, and she's never coming back
She's in the arms of a better man
One drunk night, so much and you lose your touch
You realise you've been dreaming
She's gone, she's never coming back
She's in the arms of a better man
Should have told her she was perfect
Should have put a diamond on her hand
She's gone and she's never coming home
Well she's gone and she's never coming home
