“I’m Better Off (Than Yesterday)”

Verse 1

I gave my heart a little light,

Didn’t think it’d burn me twice.

You said “sweetie” then you disappeared,

Left me talking to the quiet night.

I waited for your name to glow,

All the messages I sent, you know —

You saw them but you closed the door,

And I broke a little more.

Pre-Chorus

But then I told myself,

“Girl, breathe… let him go.”

Allah guard my heart,

Close it tight until it’s time to grow.

Chorus

Now I’m better off than yesterday—

Your shadow fades when the sun hits my face.

I thought losing you would tear my world apart,

But look at me now, I’m healing with a brand new heart.

I don’t break, I don’t fall like before,

I gave you love, but I deserve way more.

Now I’m shining and I’m stronger anyway—

Yeah, I’m better off than yesterday.

Verse 2

You had a ghost you couldn’t shake,

And maybe that’s your own heartbreak.

But I won’t be a bandage for a wound

That you never tried to heal in the first place.

I prayed for peace, I prayed for strength,

And slowly I came back again.

Funny how the tears turned into grace,

Now I walk with steady steps.

pre-Chorus

I used to think your love

Was what I needed to feel whole —

But now I see the truth,

It’s me who saved my soul.

Chorus

’Cause I’m better off than yesterday—

Your shadow fades when the sun hits my face.

I thought losing you would tear my world apart,

But look at me now, I’m healing with a brand new heart.

I don’t break, I don’t fall like before,

I gave you love, but I deserve way more.

Now I’m shining and I’m stronger anyway—

Yeah, I’m better off than yesterday.

Bridge

Maybe one day you’ll think of me,

The girl who loved you honestly.

But I won’t be there waiting, no —

I learned to love myself first,

And that’s how I let you go.

Final Chorus

So here’s to better days than yesterday—

To the girl who smiles though the skies were grey.

I thought you were the one I couldn’t replace,

But turns out I just needed time and grace.

I don’t chase, I don’t ache like before,

My heart is free, and it’s worth fighting for.

Now I’m glowing and I’m stronger every day

Yeah, I’m better off… better off…

Better off than yesterday.
