Better Lyrics by Ashley Hess

STAGES

2023

[Verse 1]
I tell myself
That song you always play is still for me
And I just can't help
But wonder if it's hard for you to sing, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
And all I want is for you to be happy
Even if that means a life without me, mmm
Love's tricky like that sometimes
All I really know is that we tried but
It takes more than love to survive it, mmm
And it's hard sometimes

[Chorus]
But I made you better
Better for someone new
And you made me better
Better for someone too
I just wish it could have been us
Oh, I wish it could have been us

[Verse 2]
Well I found mysеlf
Put all the pieces back now I'm brand nеw
But I still can't help
But miss the piece of me that once was you, you

[Pre-Chorus]
And all I want is for you to be happy
Even if that means a life without me, mmm
Love's tricky like that sometimes
All I really know is that we tried but
It takes more than love to survive it, mmm
And it hurts sometimes

[Chorus]
But I made you better
Better for someone new
And you made me better
Better for someone too
So tell me how I'm just supposed to let go of you
When loving you darling is all I know how to do
Oh, I wish it could have been

[Bridge]
Me and you in different towns
But we're seeing the same sun go down
On this love, on this love
Are you listening to our favorite song?
Are you wondering where we got it wrong?
On this love, on this love

[Chorus]
I made you better
Better for someone new
And you made me better
Better for someone too
So tell me how I'm just supposed to let go of you
When loving you darling is all I know how to do
Oh, I wish it could have been us
