Better This Way

Will we ever talk again the way we used to? Is it time to have our last words tattooed? Does your mom still ask if I'm doing alright? Do the songs we used to sing keep you up at night? The ones that go "ooooh" Not not missing you I'll keep justifying the reasons I let you go And the version of myself I pretend to know Until another life where I decide to stay It's better this way Guess we were meant to be, just not to last And to your next girl, I'll be just a part of your past Still, will you think of me and all the good? 'Cuz I'll play our song when I pass your neighborhood All you'll hear is "ooooh" Tired of missing you I'll keep justifying the reasons we're both better off And I'll tell my friends that our spark just happened to get lost And when my sister asks how you're doing again these days It's better this way A shout for help Turned into a whisper What I'd do to hear you say "I still miss her" I'll continue to be misunderstood But if I could go back, I would I know we'll never talk again the way we used to Still I want to waste some ink on a tattoo
