When I Was Your Man
Maddie Wilson Lyrics

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
The bed we shared now feels emptier without you even though it's physically the same.

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

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Whenever our friends talk about you, it hurts me because it just reminds me of what I lost.

'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
Whenever I hear your name, it stings my heart because it brings back memories of what we had.

It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo
All the sounds in the world can't express the heartache I feel after losing you.

Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
I was too naive and ignorant to appreciate what I had with you when we were together.

That I should have bought you flowers
I should have done more to show you that I cared about you, like buying you flowers.

And held your hand
I should have been more affectionate towards you and held your hand more often.

Should have gave you all my hours
I should have spent more time with you and invested more of my time and energy into our relationship.

When I had the chance
I had the opportunity to make things right with you, but I didn't take it seriously enough at the time.

Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
I should have gone out of my way to make you happy and take you to parties, even if I don't enjoy dancing.

Now my baby's dancing
You're moving on with your life and enjoying yourself, living the life I should have given you.

But she's dancing with another man
Unfortunately, you're doing it all with someone else, and it's not me.

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
My actions were driven by my pride, ego, and selfish desires, which ultimately led to the downfall of our relationship.

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
I pushed away a strong, wonderful woman like you, and now I'm suffering the consequences of my mistakes.

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
I'm stuck with the consequences of my actions, and I can't fix the damage I caused to our relationship.

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
The memories of what could have been still haunt me, and I can't escape them even when I try to sleep.

Although it hurts
Admitting my mistakes and facing the reality of losing you is painful for me.

I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
I take responsibility for my actions, and I'm willing to admit that I was wrong and apologize for my mistakes.

Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
I realize that it's probably too late to make things right, and I've missed my chance to fix our relationship.

To try and apologize for my mistakes
Even though it's late, I still want to apologize for my mistakes and express how truly sorry I am for hurting you.

But I just want you to know
Despite everything, I still want you to know how much I regret losing you and how much you mean to me.

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope the new man in your life appreciates you enough to buy you flowers, something I should have done more often.

I hope he holds your hand
I hope he shows you the physical affection that I should have shown you when we were together.

Give you all his hours
I hope he invests more time and effort into your relationship than I did when I had the chance.

When he has the chance
I hope he takes advantage of every opportunity to make you happy and show you that you're loved.

Take you to every party
I hope he takes you to parties and dance with you, making memories that you'll cherish forever.

'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
I still remember the things that made you happy, and I hope someone else makes you just as happy by doing those things with you.

Do all the things I should have done
I regret not doing all the things I should have done to make you happy, and I hope someone else is doing them for you now.

When I was your man
I wish I had done all these things when I was still your partner and had the chance to make things right.
