"Better Man" lyrics

"Better Man"

You and I had something special, baby
Something that you only see on movie screens
I know lately I've been missing you like crazy
Oh why, why d'you let me in just to let me go?

Most guys will get high when feeling low
But I don't think that that's the way to go
Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own
Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me

How do you lose the one you love?
After giving it all, you gave it up
Maybe my love wasn't enough
You think you know, but you never can
How do you lose your only plan?
Well darling, just give me one more chance
And I'll give you everything I have
I'll try to be a better man

I felt things when we were naked
I saw an angel, but they've hidden their wings
I know everyone's got that special baby
Oh I, now I only see you in my dreams

Most guys will get high when feeling low
But I don't think that that's the way to go
Sometimes I'll be sitting on my own
Thinking 'bout life, thinking 'bout you and me

How do you lose the one you love?
After giving it all, you gave it up
Maybe my love wasn't enough
You think you know, but you never can
How do you lose your only plan?
Well darling, just give me one more chance
And I'll give you everything I have
I'll try to be a better man

I've been up and I've been down
Think that's just what love's about
You took the words right out my mouth
If you feel it, say it now

It's been a while, but I've figured it out
But ain't that just what love's about?
You took the words right out my mouth
But if you feel it, say it now

How do you lose the one you love? (How do you lose?)
After giving it all, you gave it up
And maybe my love wasn't enough
You think you know, but you never can
And how do you lose your only plan?
Well darling, just give me one more chance
And I'll give you everything I have
I'll try to be a better man

This is the first song Ed Sheeran wrote for Westlife.
Members Mark Feehily and Shane Filan said about their new music, "We need to be a Westlife 2.0, a better version of ourselves. We wanted to come back and recreate Westlife's sound, but better, and be a better band, and the most important thing about any band is music." Snippets of the song were published on their social-media accounts on the 26th and 27th of March 2019.
The music video for this track was filmed in Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin.
