Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Uber to the west side

Half-drunk, eyeliner smeared

You keep blowing up my phone

I let it ring, let it ring in my ear

You want closure in a text

I just send you back a shrug

You were begging for my love

But you never gave a fuck

[Pre-Chorus]

You said, "I’m scared to lose you"

Boy, you already did

You kept playing with my head

Like I’m some bored-ass kid

Now I’m dancing in the kitchen

In his hoodie, not yours

Middle finger to your feelings

You can cry on the floor (yeah)

[Chorus]

I do bad, I do bad by my fuckin' self

I don’t need your help

I’m better on my own, better on my own

You were poison in my veins, had to let you go

Now I’m in my glow

I’m better on my own, better on my own

I do bad, I do bad by my fuckin' self

I don’t need your help

I’m better on my own, better on my own

You were toxic in my bed, had to cut that rope

Now I’m in control

I’m better on my own, better on my own (yeah)

[Verse 2]

You’d pull up uninvited

Always smellin' like a lie

Say you "changed" for the last time

Then you changed one more time

All the crying in the driveway

All the yelling in the rain

Funny how you miss me now

Now that I forgot your name (stupid)

[Pre-Chorus]

You said, "You’ll never find better"

That’s some broke-boy script

Got me laughing to the bank

While you still talk your shit

I got lashes on the dash

Got a new man on my line

You can watch me level up

While you stay stuck in rewind

[Chorus]

I do bad, I do bad by my fuckin' self

I don’t need your help

I’m better on my own, better on my own

You were poison in my veins, had to let you go

Now I’m in my glow

I’m better on my own, better on my own

I do bad, I do bad by my fuckin' self

I don’t need your help

I’m better on my own, better on my own

You were toxic in my bed, had to cut that rope

Now I’m in control

I’m better on my own, better on my own (on my own)

[Bridge]

Late nights, fucked up

But at least it’s my choice

Every demon that I dance with

Still ain’t you, boy

If I’m crashing, I’m crashing

With my hands on the wheel

I’d rather break my own heart

Than let you tell me how to feel

[Chorus]

I do bad, I do bad by my fuckin' self

I don’t need your help

I’m better on my own, better on my own

You were poison in my veins, had to let you go

Now I’m in my glow

I’m better on my own, better on my own

I do bad, I do bad by my fuckin' self

I don’t need your help

I’m better on my own, better on my own

You were toxic in my bed, had to cut that rope

Now I’m in control

I’m better on my own, better on my own
