When I Was Your Man
Sam Alves Lyrics

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Even though we share the same bed, it feels like there's something missing since you left.

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
Our special song is still being played on the radio, but now it doesn't have the same meaning to me.

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Whenever I hear our friends talking about you, it just reminds me of what I've lost and makes me sad.

'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
Just hearing your name makes me feel emotional and causes my heart to ache.

It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo
All the sounds around me just blend together into a meaningless noise.

Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
I was too naive and inexperienced at the time to understand how much I loved and needed you.

That I should have bought you flowers
I should have done small gestures like buying you flowers to show you how much I cared.

And held your hand
I should have shown you physical affection and held your hand more often.

Should have gave you all my hours
I should have spent more time with you and prioritized our relationship.

When I had the chance
I had the opportunity to do all these things, but I didn't take them.

Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
I should have taken you to more parties and danced with you, because I know how much you loved it.

Now my baby's dancing
I picture you, my former lover, out there dancing.

But she's dancing with another man
But now you're dancing with someone else, and it hurts me to think about it.

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
My arrogance, self-centeredness, and inability to put your needs first drove you away.

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
My behavior caused a woman as strong and amazing as you to leave me for good.

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
I regret not being able to fix the problems I caused in our relationship before it was too late.

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
I can't escape the memory of how badly I hurt you, and it's always on my mind.

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope the man you're with now treats you better than I did and does small things to show you how much he loves you.

I hope he holds your hand
I hope he shows you physical affection and makes you feel loved and appreciated.

Give you all his hours
I hope he gives you his undivided attention and spends all his time with you.

When he has the chance
I hope he takes every opportunity to make you happy and show you how much you mean to him.

Take you to every party
I hope he takes you out and enjoys spending time with you, just like I should have when I had the chance.

'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
I still remember the little things about you, like how much you loved to dance, and I hope he remembers them too.

Do all the things I should have done
I hope the man you're with now does all the things I neglected to do when we were together.

When I was your man
I wish I could go back in time and do things differently, but now it's too late and I have to live with my mistakes.
