[Intro] Yeah I was losing me for a while Not anymore [Verse 1] You called at 2:13, acting like nothing changed Like we could press rewind and the hurt would go away But I remember all the nights I stayed too quiet Smiling through the cracks, trying to keep the peace alive Now the room feels lighter when I stop pretending Funny how the truth comes out when the noise stops ending I used to chase your shadow like it meant something Now I see it clear, and it means nothing [Pre-Chorus] I can feel my heart wake up I can feel the weight lift off Maybe I was scared to leave But now I know what I lost [Chorus] I’m better on my own tonight Better with the lights up bright I don’t need your words to tell me I’m alright I’m better on my own tonight Yeah, I’m better on my own tonight I was waiting on your love Now I’m done waiting up I’m better on my own tonight [Verse 2] My friends said, “Come out,” so I did, no questions asked No more checking my phone like it owes me something back I laughed too loud in the corner of the crowded bar Like I forgot for a second all the ways you broke my heart There’s a song on the speakers, and I know every line Sing it like it’s mine, and for once it is mine I don’t need a rescue, I don’t need a sign I’m learning how to trust the voice inside [Pre-Chorus] I can feel my heart wake up I can feel the weight lift off Maybe I was scared to leave But now I know what I lost [Chorus] I’m better on my own tonight Better with the lights up bright I don’t need your words to tell me I’m alright I’m better on my own tonight Yeah, I’m better on my own tonight I was waiting on your love Now I’m done waiting up I’m better on my own tonight [Bridge] You were never the whole sky Just the storm I stood in too long And I don’t hate what we had I just know where it went wrong I’m not bitter, I’m just free That feels bigger than before I used to beg you to stay Now I don’t ask anymore [Final Chorus] I’m better on my own tonight Better with the lights up bright I don’t need your words to tell me I’m alright I’m better on my own tonight Yeah, I’m better on my own tonight I was waiting on your love Now I’m done waiting up I’m better on my own tonight I’m better on my own tonight Better, better on my own tonight [Outro] Yeah I’m done waiting up I’m better on my own tonight
