BETTER WITHOUT YOU

[Verse 1] You were never my girl, barely knew your name So why am I breaking like we lit some old flame? I’ve been walking away now, day after day But no matter how far, your ghost wants to stay [Pre-Chorus] I keep sayin’... I’m not fallin’ for your sweet disguise Ain’t my fault you can’t see through your own lies I swear it don’t hurt... what you do Just a little rain — I’m better without you [Chorus] Then why you still living in my head? You’re the lie I told myself in bed I don’t want you... but maybe I do The truth I’ve been dodging is cutting right through I keep sayin’ — I’m better without you Tellin’ myself — I’m better without you But when night comes around and your memory breaks through I know it ain’t true I’m not better without you [Verse 2] It was my fault — I pushed you away Now you're the silence that fills every day I fake a smile, pretend it's through But even my mirror don’t buy that it's true [Pre-Chorus 2] Still I whisper... I’m not waiting on some sweet rewind Just another fool who left love behind I ain’t the type to fall apart too But maybe I was better with you [Chorus] Then why you still living in my head? You’re the song I keep singing in regret I don’t want you... but maybe I do The truth I’ve been hiding is cutting me through I keep sayin’ — I’m better without you Tellin’ myself — I’m better without you But when night comes around and I wish it weren’t true I know it ain’t you It’s me... I’m not better without you [Outro] No, I’m not better… I’m just without you
