Better without you

Verse 1

I kept your hoodie like it meant you’d stay (still did)

Let your words replay, day after day

Every “I’m sorry” sounded so real (too real)

But love shouldn’t hurt this much to feel

I tried to fix what you let fall apart

Kept handing you pieces of my heart (my heart)

Stayed way too long in something untrue

Now I’m finally seeing you

Pre-Chorus

I was holding on to broken things

Hoping time would change everything

Chorus

Now I know I’m better off without you (without you)

Even if it hurts like I do

Every tear is something I release (let it go)

Every step is closer to peace

I don’t need your maybe anymore (don’t need it)

I’m stronger than I was before

It took losing you to finally see

I’m better off choosing me (choosing me)

Verse 2

I used to wait for your late night calls

Built my world inside your walls

But you were never really there (never there)

Just a feeling hanging in the air

Now I’m learning how to stand alone (on my own)

Turning this pain into my own

Every scar don’t mean I lose

It just shows I had something to prove

Pre-Chorus

I was chasing what I couldn’t keep

Now I’m waking up from that dream

Chorus

Now I know I’m better off without you (without you)

Even if it hurts like I do

Every tear is something I release (let it go)

Every step is closer to peace

I don’t need your maybe anymore

I’m stronger than I was before (stronger now)

It took losing you to finally see

I’m better off choosing me

Bridge

One day your name won’t feel the same (won’t hurt)

Won’t carry all this weight and pain

And I’ll look back without regret

Knowing you were just a step

Final Chorus

Yeah I’m better off without you (yeah I am)

Finally doing what I had to

Letting go was hard to do (so hard)

But it’s the only way I grew

I don’t need your maybe anymore (don’t need it)

I closed and locked that door

It took losing you to finally see

I’m better off choosing me (choosing me)
