Better Without You

Verse 1)

Woke up to silence, ain't the same without your voice

Used to need you, now I'm drownin' out the noise

Late nights, we were fire, now it's just smoke

You were poison in perfume, and I damn near choked

(Pre-Chorus)

I gave you love, you gave me games (Yeah)

Played my heart like a stage name (Ooh)

I was blind to your ways (Too blind)

But now I see it clear, and I ain't the same

(Chorus)

I miss what I thought we had, not who you were (Nah)

You burned bridges like they didn't even hurt

Used to crave your touch, now I crave peace (Yeah)

You were never good for me, I finally see (Real talk)

Heart still aches, but I’m healing through

Truth is, girl, I’m better without you (Better, yeah)

Truth is, girl, I’m better without you

(Ad-libs:)

(You know it's true)

(Yeah, better, better)

(Finally free...)

(Verse 2)

You had me twisted like your curls in the rain

Smiling in my face while you entertained pain

Blamed myself when you were cold and distant

Now I realize you were never consistent

(Pre-Chorus)

Gave you my soul, and you gave me doubt (Doubt)

Had to lose you just to figure me out (Figure it out)

I ain't bitter, just grown (Just grown)

Built a kingdom, and I sit on my throne

(Chorus)

I miss what I thought we had, not who you were

You burned bridges like they didn’t even hurt

Used to crave your touch, now I crave peace

You were never good for me, I finally see

Heart still aches, but I’m healing through

Truth is, girl, I’m better without you

Truth is, girl, I’m better without you

(Bridge – Rap/Sung)

Tears on my hoodie, pain in the seams

But I rise every day chasing better dreams

You ain't the one I need, just a lesson I learned

Now I only build with love that’s earned (Real love)

(Chorus – Final)

I miss what I thought we had, not who you were (Nah, nah)

You burned bridges like they didn’t even hurt (Didn’t even care)

Used to crave your touch, now I crave peace

You were never good for me, I finally see

Heart still aches, but I’m healing through (Healing, yeah)

Truth is, girl, I’m better without you

Truth is, girl, I’m better without you

(Outro – Spoken/Ad-libs)

(Yeah… better)

(Learned from the pain)

(Better without you…)

(Finally free)
