Terrence Miles - A Man Like Me

Intro

Ooh, yeah...

Sometimes a man doesn't realize

What he has until it's gone.

Verse 1

I used to think that love would wait,

No matter how long I stayed away.

You gave me everything you had,

And I gave you reasons to be sad.

You wanted someone by your side,

Someone who wouldn't make you cry.

Now I'm standing here alone,

Wondering where our love went wrong.

Pre-Chorus

I should've held you closer,

Should've treated you right.

Now I'm missing your embrace,

Every single night.

Chorus

A man like me should've known better,

Should've never let you go.

A man like me should've loved you stronger,

Now I'm feeling this alone.

I had your heart right in my hands,

But I didn't understand.

Now I'm paying for the things I've done,

A lonely man with no one.

Verse 2

I see your picture on the wall,

Remember when you used to call.

You'd ask me how my day had been,

And I'd tell you I'd be home again.

But I was careless with your love,

Didn't see what I was throwing away.

Now another man could hold you,

And I have nothing left to say.

Pre-Chorus

I should've listened,

Should've understood.

You were asking for my love,

I should've given you what I could.

Chorus

A man like me should've known better,

Should've never let you go.

A man like me should've loved you stronger,

Now I'm feeling this alone.

I had your heart right in my hands,

But I didn't understand.

Now I'm paying for the things I've done,

A lonely man with no one.

Bridge

If I could turn back the hands of time,

I'd make your happiness match mine.

No more excuses, no more games,

I'd never make you feel this pain.

But I can't change yesterday,

And I can't make you stay.

All I have are memories,

Of the love you gave to me.

Final Chorus

A man like me should've known better,

Should've never let you go.

A man like me should've loved you stronger,

Now I'm standing here alone.

I had your heart right in my hands,

But I didn't understand.

Now I'm paying for the things I've done,

A lonely man with no one.

Outro

Ooh, a man like me...

Should've known better...

Should've loved you better...
