[Verse 1]
How many times did you make up lies,
And I was the fool who believed?
Still remember those wild dreams you had –
‘Bout love, and what we could achieve.
But all you ever did was ramble,
You never heard a single word.
Same old story, on repeat –
Change was something you deferred.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
My best friend warned me long ago,
Now I finally see it’s true.
I cried so many nights for you –
But now, I need you to know:
---
[Chorus]
I'm doing better – without you, don’t forget.
You tore us down – no passion, no regret.
And even if you say you care,
It doesn’t change what isn’t there.
You write, “I miss you” – but I won't reply.
'Cause I’m doing better – better without you tonight.
---
[Verse 2]
How could I trust you, being so blind?
You were poison in my veins.
Felt your heartbeat just last night,
Now you’re twisting up my brain.
I was the calm in your chaos,
But you were chaos all the time.
You messed with my head so bad,
And still said none of it was your crime.
I gave it all, but you held back.
I faced your pain alone.
Now your scars are carved in my heart –
A grave I call my own.
---
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My best friend warned me long ago,
Now I finally see it’s true.
I won’t waste another tear for you –
But still, I hope you know:
---
[Chorus 2]
I'm doing better – without you, for good this time.
You played my heart, never paid the price.
And even if you think of me,
It means nothing now, can’t you see?
I finally know: I was never enough –
For someone who was never tough.
---
[Bridge]
I tried to build a future with you –
But you were never really there.
Planted dreams on our balcony –
But you just didn't care.
You brought chaos to my thinking,
Burned my peace like a flame.
You filled my mind with shadows,
Then left me drowning in your shame.
---
[Final Chorus]
I'm doing better – without you, this is real.
Took back my life, forgot how joy can feel.
And even if you don’t believe –
I’m done, and I won’t grieve.
You say you miss me – but I stay still.
Yeah, I’m doing better – better without you, for real.
