Better without you

(Verse 1)
I gave you my heart, I gave you my trust
But all you ever gave me was broken dust
You smiled in my face, then turned away
Left me in the dark, but now I see the light of day

You thought I’d stay blind, thought I’d never know
But now I’m walking out the door, and I’m ready to go

(Pre-Chorus)
No more lies, no more games
I’ve wiped the tears, I’ve washed the stains
You never thought I’d be strong enough
But here I am, I’m rising up

(Chorus)
I’m better without you, no more tears to cry
I’m free from the chains you put on my life
You’re just a shadow, a ghost in my mind
I’m finally healing, and I’m leaving you behind
I’m better without you, I’m stronger than before
I found my peace, and I’m walking out the door

(Verse 2)
You played me for a fool, thought I couldn’t see
But now I know the truth, and it’s setting me free
You held me down, kept me in the dark
But I’m finding my own way, and I’m making a new start

You were never worth the fight or the pain
Now I’m dancing in the rain, let it wash away the blame

(Pre-Chorus)
No more lies, no more games
I’ve wiped the tears, I’ve washed the stains
You never thought I’d be strong enough
But here I am, I’m rising up

(Chorus)
I’m better without you, no more tears to cry
I’m free from the chains you put on my life
You’re just a shadow, a ghost in my mind
I’m finally healing, and I’m leaving you behind
I’m better without you, I’m stronger than before
I found my peace, and I’m walking out the door

(Bridge)
I don’t need your love, I don’t need your lies
I’m finding my own way to the skies
You won’t break me, you won’t win
I’m taking my life back again

(Chorus)
I’m better without you, no more tears to cry
I’m free from the chains you put on my life
You’re just a shadow, a ghost in my mind
I’m finally healing, and I’m leaving you behind
I’m better without you, I’m stronger than before
I found my peace, and I’m walking out the door

(Outro)
Better without you, better without you
I’m finally free, I’m finally through
Better without you… and I’m never looking back.
