When I Was Your Man
Bruno Mars(브루노 마스) Lyrics

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Although we sleep in the same bed, it seems a little more spacious; perhaps because we are emotionally distant.

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
Hearing our song on the radio doesn't evoke the same feelings as it once did; it reminds me how we've grown apart.

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
More than anything, hearing about you from mutual friends just brings sadness and distress.

'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
Even just hearing your name causes a small part of me to feel a sense of heartbreak and loss.

It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo
Everything related to our past love just sound like a collection of non-distinct sounds, rather than the meaningful moments they once were.

Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
Looking back, I wasn't mature or thoughtful enough to realize just how much you meant to me at that time, and how important it was to cherish our relationship.

That I should have bought you flowers
Giving you a token of affection like flowers would have been a simple gesture to show how much you meant to me.

And held your hand
I wish I had taken the time to hold your hand and show you physical affection more often.

Should have gave you all my hours
I should have given you more of my time and attention, rather than keeping it exclusively for my own pursuits.

When I had the chance
Looking back, I recognize that I had a chance to be a better partner, but I failed to live up to that opportunity.

Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
I should have encouraged you to go to parties more often, and respected your desire to dance and socialize.

Now my baby's dancing
Despite my previous shortcomings, you are still out there living your life and enjoying yourself.

But she's dancing with another man
However, seeing you with another man hurts me deeply and reminds me of my mistakes.

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
My own personal insecurities and selfishness prevented me from being the kind of partner you deserved.

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
As a result of my own shortcomings, you had no choice but to end our relationship and move on to someone who treated you better.

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
Sadly, I can never go back and fix the mistakes I made or the hurt I caused you.

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
The regret I feel for my past actions is an ongoing source of pain, and something that I can't shake from my mind.

Although it hurts
Despite the pain of reflecting on our past, I know it's important to confront and address the mistakes I made.

I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
In order to move forward and start to heal, I need to take responsibility for my own failings and admit fault.

Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
Although I recognize my mistakes now, I also know that it's unlikely I can make things right with you at this point in time.

To try and apologize for my mistakes
Even though it's difficult, I need to try and make amends for the hurt I caused you, even if it may ultimately be fruitless.

But I just want you to know
Even if we can't go back and fix the past, I still want you to know that my feelings for you were genuine, and that I'm sorry for the hurt I caused.

I hope he buys you flowers
Although I messed up, I still hope that you are treated well by whoever is lucky enough to be with you now.

I hope he holds your hand
I hope that your partner is attentive and affectionate towards you in all the ways that I failed to be.

Give you all his hours
I hope that your partner is generous with their time and attention, and can provide you with everything that I was not able to offer.

Take you to every party
And above all, I hope that your new partner is mindful of your wants and needs, in a way that I never was.

'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Despite my imperfections, I still remember and appreciate all the wonderful things about you, and how full of life you were.

Do all the things I should have done
Even though I can't go back and do things over again, I hope that you know that my intentions towards you were always pure, and that I deeply regret how I fell short as a partner.

When I was your man
Ultimately, I wish that I could go back to a time when we were still together, and make the most of the opportunity to love you and treat you right.
