Vào ngày 12.11.2021, Taylor Swift đã chính thức tung ra album tái thu âm album phòng thu thứ 4 của mình - Red. Red (Taylor's version) bao gồm 30 bài hát, với 9 bài hát hoàn toàn mới được cô giới thiệu từ From the vault. Better man chính là một trong số đó. Bài hát là một bản ballad buồn, kể về một cô gái không gặp may trong chuyện tình cảm khi gặp phải người đàn ông tồi trong cuộc đời. Tuy anh chàng đối xử tệ với cô, gây ra những vết thương lòng cho cô gái nhưng cô gái vẫn không thể dứt ra bởi cô đã lỡ quá yêu anh, thế nên cô chỉ muốn anh chàng là người đàn ông tốt hơn, và đó là điều duy nhất cô muốn. Hãy cùng mình lắng nghe và thưởng thức bản tình ca buồn này nhé!


Lời bài hát:

[Verse 1]

I know I'm probably better off on my own

Than lovin' a man who didn't know what he had when he had it

And I see the permanent damage you did to me

Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic

[Pre-Chorus]I wish it wasn't 4 AM, standing in the mirror

Saying to myself, "You know you had to do it"

I know the bravest thing I ever did was run

[Chorus]Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

[Verse 2]

I know I'm probably better off all alone

Than needing a man who could change his mind

At any given minute

And it was always on your terms

I waited on every careless word

Hoping they might turn sweet again

Like it was in the beginning

[Pre-Chorus]But your jealousy, oh, I can hear it now

Talking down to me like I'd always be around

Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun

Oh, you never thought I'd run

[Chorus]Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

And I know why we had to say goodbye, like the back of my hand

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

[Bridge]I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have

And I gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that

I wish you were a better man

I wonder what we would've become

If you were a better man

We might still be in love

If you were a better man

You would've been the one

If you were a better man

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

And I know why we had to say goodbye, like the back of my hand

But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

(Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)

We might still be in love, if you were a better man

(But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)

Yeah, yeah

I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand

But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man

A better man

[Outro]We might still be in love

If you were a better man

You would've been the one

If you were a better man
