[Verse 1]
Missed your call on the phone
Let you listen to the dial tone
When I knew very well we were both alone
Skipped a holiday or two
I'd have booked a ticket if I only knew
That you had a few left in you

[Chorus]
Well, I should've done better by you
I should've done better by you
I should've done better, but you don't know better 'til you do

[Verse 2]
My mind goes blank at our last fight
I cried when the news brokе that night
I was waiting on you to make things right
I admit that pride gets my tonguе
But you and I are of the same blood
And you play that game better that I could

[Chorus]
Well I should've done better by you
I should've done better by you
I should've done better, but you don't know better 'til you do
[Bridge]
Leave the light on my love in case you find a way back home
Leave the light on my love in case you find a way back home

[Chorus]
And I should've done better by you
I should've done better by you
I should've done better by you
But you don't know better 'til you do
