Jackson, Leon - Could Do Better Lyrics

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Could do better
Next time
Could do better
