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
