[Verse 1] I still remember how you said my name Like every syllable was something sacred We had a fire, we had something real Or maybe I was the only one who felt it You started fading right in front of me Less conversation, more apologies I kept pretending we were just alright While you were slowly saying goodbye [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every piece I had You gave me reasons to look back And I kept holding on too long To something already gone [Chorus] Maybe I'm better without you Maybe my heart needed breaking Maybe the tears were the truth That I was too scared to face it I loved you deeper than I should Stayed when I knew I never could Keep losing me just to keep you around Maybe I'm better, better without you now [Post-Chorus] Ooh, without you I'm finding my way back Ooh, without you And I don't wanna go back [Verse 2] I used to check my phone at 2 AM Hoping your name would light the screen again Making excuses for the silence Calling it timing when it felt like goodbye Now I can sleep without wondering Who you're with or where you've been Funny how the world keeps turning round When the person you love isn't there anymore [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every piece I had You gave me reasons to look back But somewhere underneath the pain I found the strength to walk away [Chorus] Maybe I'm better without you Maybe my heart needed breaking Maybe the tears were the truth That I was too scared to face it I loved you deeper than I should Stayed when I knew I never could Keep losing me just to keep you around Maybe I'm better, better without you now [Bridge] Don't get me wrong, I still remember The nights we thought would last forever And sometimes when the room gets quiet I miss the way you held me But missing you don't mean I need you And loving you don't mean I'll keep you I finally learned the hardest truth I can love you and still choose me too [Breakdown] So go ahead Take your memories with you Take every promise You never meant to keep I'm not angry I'm just finally free And for the first time I'm choosing me [Final Chorus] Maybe I'm better without you Maybe my heart needed breaking Maybe the tears were the truth That I was too scared to face it I loved you deeper than I should Stayed when I knew I never could Keep losing me just to keep you around Maybe I'm better, better without you now [Outro] Better without you I'm finally breathing Better without you I'm finally healing I thought losing you would break me But losing you brought me back to me Maybe I'm better Maybe I'm better without you
