I Wish I Had Loved Her That Way

He brings her flowers for no special reason
He just wants to show her he cares
He always remembers those special occasions
And brags on the clothes that she wears
He does all the little things I never did
And he knows all the right words to say
He's giving her what she deserves
Oh, I wish I had loved her that way

He always listens when she feels like talking
And he understands like a friend
He holds her close when she can't help crying
Oh, I wish I had held her back then
He's mending a heart that I left in pieces
He's found what I threw away
And he's giving her what she deserves
Oh, I wish I had loved her that way

It takes a fool to lose the love of a lifetime
Why do fools always find out too late
She's in good hands now that she's out of mine
Oh, I wish I had loved her that way
Oh, I wish I had loved her that way
