Better Lyrics

Baby I'm happy

You wanna label it lonely

That's totally fine by me

Well the truth is I'm better

Here alone in cold weather than at the fireside with ya

I got a shiny new heart

Your old name on my arm

But it isn't gonna hold me back

You wanna carry a torch

Well I wish you'd be more

Interested in moving on from that

'Cause it's better over here

Barely any tears

If you only knew what I know

I'm better

So much better

Than what our future had to offer

And maybe if you believed me

You'd see we're better off not together

Yeah I'm better

So much better

Yeah I'm better than the better half of that

You wanna be with me only

Because your fear of being lonely Convinced you I'm the girl for you

Well the truth is you're better off Without my heart tethered to your personal future beau

I'm glad you're okay

But don't want you to stay in my personal way of life

We don't need to be friends or to be checking in

Without you here I'm just fine

'Cause it's better over here

Barely any tears

If you only knew what I know

I'm better

So much better

Than what our future had to offer

And maybe if you believed

You'd see we're better off not together

Yeah I'm better

So much better

Yeah I'm better than the better half of that

It's better because

Without your heart strung to my future is so freeing

I don't mean to be blunt

But with you I was strung

To a story that was not me

If you move on from me

Like I moved on from you

You'll find the girl that you want to see

She'll patch your broken heart that fell apart

And you'll be happy that it wasn't me

'Cause it's better over here

Barely any tears

If you only knew what I know

I'm better

So much better

Than what our future had to offer

And maybe if you believed me

You'd see we're better off not together
