Better On My Own

[Verse 1]
(F) You said you needed time
Now you’re calling in the middle of the night
(M) I remember every lie you dressed in white
You were gone before the morning light
[Pre-Chorus]
(F) You see the pictures
I’m laughing
I’m living
(M) You hear my name and your pulse starts skipping
(F) Funny how you want the thing you let go
(M) But you’re just late to the show (too late)
[Chorus]
(F) You broke my heart
Now you want it back
But I’m running
I’m racing on a brand-new track
(M) You’re at the door
I’m already gone
Got a new sunrise I can lean on
(F) Look at me shining
Finally grown
(M) You’re just a number in a lost phone
(Both) You had your chance
Now you’re alone
I’m better
Better on my own (oh)
[Verse 2]
(M) You say you miss my laugh
Suddenly you’re “sorry for the past”
(F) Guess you thought that I’d be stuck
Still cracked
But every piece of me found its way back
[Pre-Chorus]
(M) You see me dancing
I’m lighter
I’m brighter
(F) Every step I take
My world gets wider
(M) You only want me ’cause I finally glow
(F) But you’re just late to the show (way late)
[Chorus]
(F) You broke my heart
Now you want it back
But I’m running
I’m racing on a brand-new track
(M) You’re at the door
I’m already gone
Got a new sunrise I can lean on
(F) Look at me shining
Finally grown
(M) You’re just a number in a lost phone
(Both) You had your chance
Now you’re alone
I’m better
Better on my own
[Bridge]
(F) I cried in that kitchen
On the cold tile floor
(M) Now I’m the one who doesn’t need you anymore
(F) You’re just a story that I already know
(M) And I’ve rewritten every page in gold (oh)
[Chorus]
(F) You broke my heart
Now you want it back
But I’m running
I’m racing on a brand-new track
(M) You’re at the door
I’m already gone
Got a new sunrise I can lean on
(F) Look at me shining
Finally grown
(M) You’re just a number in a lost phone
(Both) You had your chance
Now you’re alone
I’m better
Better on my own
(Both) So much better
Better on my own (yeah)

pop, Shiny modern pop duet over bright synths and punchy drums; verses trade lines between male and female vocals, playful call-and-response. Pre-chorus lifts with rising pads and tight harmonies; chorus explodes with stacked hooks and rhythm guitar stabs. Middle 8 strips to claps and bass before a final big, glossy chorus.
