[Verse 1 - gritty Southern drawl, spoken-word delivery, chugging rhythm guitar underneath] I heard you were struggling without me I heard you were asking how I am I'm doing better than ever without you So enjoy kissing my sweet sexy ass [Pre-Chorus - building tension, driving eighth-note bass, bluesy flat bends, vocals rising] You probably heard I'm doing fine I hope it stings I hope it burns Heard it through the people That you lost when you lost me [Chorus - explosive anthemic lift, aggressive chest-voice belt, cowbell, full band crash] I'm BETTER WITHOUT Every lie you sold me, I cashed out You handed me rock bottom I built a house I'm louder, I'm stronger I'm everything you doubted Took your worst and didn't break I AM BETTER WITHOUT [Verse 2 - heavy bass groove, rhythmic swamp rock pulse, raw delivery] I don't hate you anymore That ship has sailed, you can fuck off You don't even cross my mind And even then I feel nothing Saw you across the street Kept walking, didn't blink Funny what happens When you stop giving a damn [Pre-Chorus 2 - stripped back, single guitar, vocals dripping with Southern sass] Honey I was already gone The day you thought you left me [Chorus - explosive anthemic lift, aggressive chest-voice belt, cowbell, full band crash] I'm BETTER WITHOUT Every lie you sold me, I cashed out You handed me rock bottom I built a house I'm louder, I'm stronger I'm everything you doubted Took your worst and didn't break I AM BETTER WITHOUT [Bridge - music cuts to silence, single raw vocal then band crashes back in building] How does it feel to want something you can't have How does it feel knowing you lost all you had I hope it sucks for you Knowing you'll never have better But someone will [Chorus - maximum intensity, full Southern rock blast, slap-back echo on vocals] I AM BETTER WITHOUT [Outro - music drops dead, dry tape warmth, smirking spoken word] (smirking, spoken word) So how are YOU doing...
