When I Was Your Man
Chris Jamison Lyrics

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Being in the same bed doesn't feel as cozy as it used to be because you're not there anymore.

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
Hearing our song on the radio doesn't bring me joy anymore because you're not here to sing it with me.

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Hearing our friends talking about you only makes me feel worse about losing you.

'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
Just hearing your name is enough to cause my heart to hurt a little.

It all just sounds like ooh
All of my emotions towards losing you can be summed up by a simple 'ooh'.

Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
I was too young and foolish to recognize what I had with you.

That I should have bought you flowers
I regret not buying you flowers and showing you more affection when I had the chance.

And held your hand
I should have held your hand more often and made physical connections with you.

Should've gave you all my hours
I should have spent all the time I had with you instead of wasting it on other things.

When I had the chance
I realized too late that I missed my chances of making you mine.

Take you to every party
I regret not taking you to every party where we could've danced and enjoyed ourselves.

'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Dancing was one of the things that made you happiest, and I wish I could have given that to you.

Now my baby's dancing
You're no longer mine, but I see you dancing with someone else.

But she's dancing with another man
It hurts me to see you dancing with someone else, especially when I realize that I could have been that man.

My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
My pride, ego, and selfishness played a role in driving you away from me.

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
You were a good and strong woman, but my flaws made you leave me.

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
I can't make things right because you're not here, and the mess I made still remains.

And it hurts me every time I close my eyes
Even when I try to forget about you, the pain of losing you still haunts me.

Although it hurts
Even though it hurts to admit my mistakes, I know I need to own up to them.

I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
I know I was wrong, and I'm willing to admit it.

Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
I know it's too late to win you back.

To try and apologize for my mistakes
I wish I could apologize to you and make things right, but it's too late for that.

But I just want you to know
Even though I can't change what's happened, I still want you to know how much I regret my mistakes.

And I hope he buys you flowers
I hope your new man treats you better and gives you the affection and attention that I failed to give.

I hope he holds your hand
I hope your new man holds your hand and makes you feel loved and cherished.

Give you all his hours
I hope your new man spends every moment and every bit of energy making you happy.

When he has the chance
I hope your new man recognizes the value in you and makes every effort to keep you happy.

Take you to every party
I hope your new man takes you to all the parties and dancing events that you love.

'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
I remember how much dancing made you happy, and I hope your new man makes sure you get to experience it as much as possible.

Do all the things I should've done
I realize too late what I should have done and I want your new man to do all of them for you.

When I was your man
I want your new man to do all the things I should have done when I had the chance to be with you.
