Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wish I could have given you everything you need
The power to believe, the stuff that sets you free
I wish I were the answer to everything you want
Shelter from the storm, somewhere to belong
[Verse 2]
It's not easy to make dreams come true, I know
So, this much I wish for you before you go
[Verse 3]
Better luck next time, baby
For all eternity
Even if it's not with me, I wish you all that love could be
Maybe the next time, baby
The sun will wanna shine
Seek and you will find better luck (Better luck) next time
[Verse 4]
I hope you find someone to give you what I couldn't give
Though I just can't imagine what that something is
I hope you wake up every day with roses at your door
Someone to live for, a heart that knows for sure
But if I can't be the one to hold your hand (The one to hold you)
No sense stopping you if there's someone who can
[Verse 5]
Better luck next time, baby
For all eternity
Even if it's not with me, I wish you all that love could be
Better luck next time, baby
The sun is gonna shine
Seek and you will find better luck (Better luck next time)
[Verse 6]
I don't wanna see you walk away with someone else
Wanna keep you here all to myself
Believe me, if I could, I would (Believe me, if I could, I would)
Uh-huh, gonna take a lot of love to let you go
But anyone who ever loved like this would know
Oh, they would know
[Verse 7]
(Next time, baby, I hope that's what you get)
Ooh, I hope that's what you get
(Remember me with no regrets, live in peace and happiness)
Oh, better luck next time, baby
Somewhere down the line
Seek and you will find better luck next time
(Next time, next time) Oh
