Could Do Better

Jackson Leon

Love is a rose it grows when you feed it 
But just as we believed it 
The thornswere tearing at the skin 
A beautiful dream rudely awakened 
But this heart is vacant 
There's nothing left here within 
So before we turn and fade away my love 
Be sure to learn from our mistakes 

So rip us up and start again 
But some day we will love again 
So as a friend it's high time our hearts got clever 
Cause I gave you everything I could 
But we made bad from something good 
And we were good but next time 
We could do better 
Could do better 

Relieve every line every kiss every secret 
But did we do what we needed 
We were so unaware 
So just let it burn but learning a lesson 
Let's make this cofession 
Of all the blame that we share 
And I wish that we could turn back time my love 
Now that we know all our mistakes 

Sometimes love is not enough to stay together 
And we tried 
So let's just learn from our mistakes 
For some other lover's sake 
As I watched you fade away 

Could do better 
Next time 
Could do better
