Better

We got back, it's not the same

And I'm afraid to say it out loud

Then you replied, could I have done something?

You've got some nerve asking me now

Though I'm in love with it, I will amputate

I care enough not to keep you around

Is it rough for you? I can't bear the way

You look at me when I let you down

Tell me, is this how it goes when you let someone know

That they gave it their best but you still gotta roll?

Remember, I told you that we would be closer

If we took some time further apart

Didn't it make you better?

Aren't we better now?

I know it made me better

Aren't we better now?

Been six months since my birthday

And it feels good to hear your voice

We took a ride through the hills, replayed

All of the reasons I made that choice

We go around the bend only to reveal

What we couldn't see before

We're better off as friends, baby, you can't stay

We both know we're not there anymore

Tell me, is this how it goes when you let someone know

That it's all for the best? We cut and we grow

Remember, I told you that we would be closer

If we took some time further apart

Didn't it make you better?

Aren't we better now?

I know it made me better

Aren't we better now?

Been around the block once or twice

Breaking up in the middle of the night

No right, somehow we fixed that

Better at talking than we used to fight

Still bail me out when my money ain't right

Oh my

All the things I had to eat, baby

Start your fight, I could've waited all day or night

Could have been forever

Told you that I needed time to wait

But there's a lot to think about while you wait, wait, wait

Tell me one more time

Didn't it make you better?

Aren't we better now?

I know it made me better

Aren't we better now?
