Better Than You Do

(yeah...)

You still look over your shoulder...

(good)

I see you walking with your head down low

Black hoodie, cold eyes, moving too slow

You think nobody notices the things you hide

But I've been reading every fracture from the other side

I know the songs you play when you can't sleep

The promises you couldn't keep

The way you smile when you're about to break

(yeah, I know)

You call it creepy

I call it truth

You call it leaving

I call it losing you

Cause I know you better than you do

(every scar, every bruise)

Every lie you tell yourself

When you're locked inside your room

You paint me out the villain

Maybe that's what I became

But every memory still burns

When somebody says your name

(yeah...)

Say your name

Whoa-oh-oh

I was never good for you

(no, no)

Whoa-oh-oh

But I still wanted you

You hate the way I watch you from across the room

Like I'm a shadow hanging over everything you do

And maybe I deserve every word you say

But I still remember when you begged me not to walk away

Now you act like I'm a ghost

Like I never mattered most

But every goodbye cuts me open

(every damn time)

I wanted control

I called it love

I wanted forever

It was never enough

Cause I know you better than you do

(every scar, every bruise)

Every wall you built so high

Just to stop me getting through

You paint me out the villain

Maybe that's what I became

But every memory still burns

When somebody says your name

(hey!)

Maybe I'm the bad guy

Maybe I'm the reason

You lock your doors at night

Maybe I held on

Long after it died

Maybe I confused obsession

With being alive

Yeah...

Maybe that's the truth

You run

I chase

You heal

I break

You moved on

I stayed

(stayed...)

Cause I know you better than I should

The bad, the ugly, and the good

But knowing you don't make you mine

(no...)

And every time I see your face

I'm reminded what I can't replace

You survived me

That's the part I hate

You still look over your shoulder...

(yeah...)

But not because you miss me
