Better Off, Still In Love

[Verse 1]
We picked out rings last March
Took pictures in that parking lot
Your mom cried in the restaurant
Thought that meant a forever spot
Now I'm scrolling through her smile
Same tattoo
Same tilted head
You moved on in record time
I'm the ghost in our old bed
[Chorus]
I'm better off
Still in love
Screaming that truth through my lungs
You don't get to be my wreck
I'm moving on with no regrets
Yeah
My heart still burns from afar
But I won't chase your fading star
I loved you hard
You just forgot
I'm better off
Better off
[Verse 2]
Your hoodie on the backseat
Smells like plans we never kept
I drive past your exit ramp
Sing too loud so I don't weep
All our names on napkin hearts
Stuffed inside a kitchen drawer
I won't burn them
Let them stay
Tiny ghosts I don't need anymore
[Chorus]
I'm better off
Still in love
Screaming that truth through my lungs
You don't get to be my wreck
I'm moving on with no regrets
Yeah
My heart still burns from afar
But I won't chase your fading star
I loved you hard
You just forgot
I'm better off
Better off
[Bridge]
Maybe she gets your Sundays
Maybe she gets your friends
I get the part of me I traded
I get my own damn happy end (hey!)
[Chorus]
I'm better off
Still in love
Screaming that truth through my lungs
You don't get to be my wreck
I'm moving on with no regrets
Yeah
My heart still burns from afar
But every mile I'm healing scars
I loved you once
That love can rot
I'm better off
(I'm better off)
I'm better off
Better off

rock, Crunchy modern rock ballad with female vocals, palm-muted verses that explode into wide, overdriven guitars on the chorus. Tight, driving drums with big tom fills into each hook, bass glued to the kick. Second chorus adds high backing vocals and a soaring lead line; bridge drops to half-time mood before a final, shout-along chorus.
