Better than before

Verse 1

I used to bend till I broke,

Chasing love that never spoke.

Thought I was small, thought I was weak,

Till the silence made me see.

Pre-Chorus

The pieces I lost are finding their place,

I see my worth when I see my face.

Chorus

I’m stronger now, I’m brighter somehow,

Every tear was a lesson I know now.

Had to lose you just to find the door,

But I’m better than before.

No longer blind to the love I need,

I’m building a life that’s made for me.

The girl who forgot what she was fighting for,

She’s gone—

I’m better than before.

Verse 2

Your shadow doesn’t own me anymore,

I walk lighter than I did before.

The weight is gone, the chains are free,

I’m finally learning to love me.

Pre-Chorus

The cracks in my heart let the sunlight in,

A different mindset, a brand-new skin.

Chorus

I’m stronger now, I’m brighter somehow,

Every tear was a lesson I know now.

Had to lose you just to find the door,

But I’m better than before.

No longer blind to the love I need,

I’m building a life that’s made for me.

The girl who forgot what she was fighting for,

She’s gone—

I’m better than before.

Bridge

What I thought was love was just a disguise,

But I won’t settle for half the prize.

I found my strength where the pain once stayed,

And I won’t let it slip away.

Final Chorus

I’m stronger now, I’m brighter somehow,

Every tear was a lesson I know now.

Had to let you go to heal my core,

Now I’m better—

I’m better than before.
