[Verse 1] She gave me every chance a man could need, But I was too busy chasing every dream. She waited while I ran from door to door, Till one day she wasn't waiting anymore. Now her perfume still hangs in my room, And every empty night reminds me what I lost too soon. [Chorus] I should have loved you better, I should have held you tight. I should have been the man Who stayed beside you every night. Now I'm driving through the city, With your memory on my mind. I had your heart forever, But I left it all behind. [Verse 2] I see her in the window of every passing car, Wondering where she is and how she got this far. Maybe she's happy, maybe she's moved on, While I'm still listening to our favorite song. If I could turn the hands of time, I'd trade every reckless night to make you mine. [Chorus] I should have loved you better, I should have held you tight. I should have been the man Who stayed beside you every night. Now I'm driving through the city, With your memory on my mind. I had your heart forever, But I left it all behind.
