Loved Me Better
Maz O'Connor
I would have loved you longer
I would have loved you more
I would have loved you stronger
Than you’d been loved before
I would have painted the Moon in blue
And all the stars in red
Only to be closer to you
To share your borrowed bed
And it took me some time
To trust my own mind
And get myself together
But I know now, honey I know
You should have loved me better
Didn’t I take the blame when you told me to
Every little thing my fault
Only wanted sweetness from you
Only ever tasted salt
And didn’t you let me think I wasn’t good enough
Didn’t you watch me feed my shame
Too young to really know my worth
Too scared to scream my name
And I asked you straight one night
Will I ever know your mind?
And you told me never
Well, I know now, honey I know
You should have loved me better
Wherever you are now
I want you to know
You were blood on newly fallen snow
Too weak to make a stain
Too small to even take a hold
Yeah, it took me some time
Oh, it took me a while
But I put it all together
And I know now, honey I know
You should have loved me better
