BTTR OFF W/OUT MII

**[Intro — soft, distant]** Yeah… I know you’ll heal when I’m gone. I just don’t know what I’ll do. **[Chorus]** You’re better off without me, I know that it’s true, But every road without you feels like nowhere to move. I told you, “Go be happy,” then I broke when you did, Now I’m haunting every room where your memory lives. You’re better off without me; I’m lost without you, You finally found your peace—I got nothing to lose. I know loving me was heavy, you were tired of the weight, So why am I still praying that you turn back my way? **[Verse 1]** I watched your eyes go empty every time that we fought, You kept giving me your patience; I kept taking a lot. Said I’d change when it mattered, then repeated the mess, You were asking for the minimum—I gave even less. Now your side of the mattress hasn’t moved in a week, And I still turn to tell you every thought that I think. I could call, but my apology won’t give back your time, So I stare at your number and keep losing my mind. **[Pre-Chorus]** I let you go ’cause I love you, That don’t mean I know how to. I gave you room to recover, Now there’s no one here but you. **[Chorus]** You’re better off without me, I know that it’s true, But every road without you feels like nowhere to move. I told you, “Go be happy,” then I broke when you did, Now I’m haunting every room where your memory lives. You’re better off without me; I’m lost without you, You finally found your peace—I got nothing to lose. I know loving me was heavy, you were tired of the weight, So why am I still praying that you turn back my way? **[Verse 2]** I heard you’re sleeping better; I’m awake every night, Guess the dark became your freedom when you stepped from my life. You don’t flinch at your phone now, you don’t wait for a fight, While I’m reading our old messages to feel you beside me. I don’t want you returning just to rescue my heart, That’s the selfish kind of loving that divided us apart. So I hope somebody holds you like I couldn’t back then, But the thought of them beside you makes me miss you again. **[Bridge — drums breathe, vocal opens up]** Don’t come back just because I’m alone. Don’t come back if you finally feel whole. I’ll carry the hurt that I handed to you— You’re better without me… I’m nothing without you. **[Final Chorus]** You’re better off without me, I know that it’s true, But every road without you feels like nowhere to move. I told you, “Go be happy,” now I live with the cost, You escaped from all my chaos; I got caught and got lost. You’re better off without me; I’m lost without you, You finally found your peace—I’m still searching for you. I know loving me was heavy, so I won’t make you stay, I’ll just love you from a distance while you’re walking away. **[Outro]** You’re better off… I’m lost without you. That’s the worst part— Both can be true.
