Better Than Yesterday

You left your hoodie on my chair

Still smells like your cheap cologne

Threw our photos in a drawer

But I keep checking my phone

Said you needed “time and space”

Guess that meant a different bed

Now you’re posing with your new thing

In my old spot instead

But you look better than yesterday

Not better on me

You look happy in your stories

But you’re not what I need (no more)

You were heavy on my chest

Now I finally can breathe

Yeah

You look better than yesterday

But not better on me (on me)

I still walk past your café

Just to prove I really can

Order something that you hated

Talk too long with the barista again

Friends still ask me how you’ve been

I just shrug and change the scene

Used to see you in my future

Now you’re just a late-night meme

‘Cause you look better than yesterday

Not better on me

You look golden in that angle

But it’s not what it seems (no, no)

You were thunder in my head

Now it’s quiet

Finally

Yeah

You look better than yesterday

But not better on me (on me)

You’ll wear my jacket with his hands on your waist

He’ll hear my stories told in past-tense mistakes

You’ll call it growing

I’ll just call it release

You lost your chance and I found my peace (my peace)

So you look better than yesterday

Not better on me

You look brighter in the pictures

But that light isn’t me (no more)

You were anchors on my heart

Now I’m sailing out free

Yeah

You look better than yesterday

But not better on me

Not better on me (on me)
