Better Lyrics
[00:19.00] We got back it's not the same
[00:22.41] And I'm afraid to say it out loud
[00:28.27] Then you replied, could I've done something
[00:31.77] You got some nerve asking me now
[00:36.37] Though I'm in love with it
[00:38.76] I will amputate
[00:41.55] I care enough not to keep you around
[00:46.29] Is it rough for you? I can't bare the wait
[00:50.99] You looking me when I let you down
[00:56.60] Tell me, is this how it goes when you let
[01:00.26] Someone know that they gave it their best
[01:04.03] But you still gotta roll
[01:06.84] Remember I told you that we would be closer
[01:11.81] If we took some time further apart
[01:17.19] Didn't it make you better?
[01:21.45] Aren't we better now?
[01:25.59] I know it made me better
[01:30.97] Aren't we better
[01:35.47] Now?
[01:44.45] Been six months since my birthday
[01:49.02] And it feels good to hear your voice
[01:54.15] We took a ride through the hills we played
[01:58.36] All of the reasons I made that choice
[02:03.02] We go around the bend
[02:05.23] Only to reveal what we couldn't see before
[02:12.47] We're better off as friends
[02:14.54] Baby you can't stay
[02:17.32] We both know we're not there anymore
[02:22.81] Tell me, is this how it goes when you let
[02:26.99] Someone know that it's all for the best
[02:30.50] We cut and we grow
[02:32.87] Remember I told you that we would be closer
[02:38.05] If we took some time further apart
[02:43.51] Didn't it make you better?
[02:48.31] Aren't we better now?
[02:52.64] I know it made me better (I know, I know)
[02:57.47] Aren't we better now? (aren't we better now?)
[03:01.84] Been around the block once or twice
[03:03.68] Breaking up in the middle of the night
[03:06.17] No way (no way)
[03:08.47] So how we fix that (so how we fix that)
[03:11.31] Better talking than we used fight
[03:12.76] Still fill me up when my money ain't right, oh no (oh no)
[03:21.03] All the things it had to be baby
[03:22.76] Start your fight
[03:24.27] I could've waited all day, all night (Could've been forever)
[03:29.91] Told you that I needed time
[03:32.05] There's a lot to think about while you wait, wait, wait, wait
[03:37.43] Tell me one more time
[03:40.65] Didn't it make you better?
[03:45.44] Aren't we better now?
[03:50.01] I know it made me better
[03:54.87] Aren't we better now?
[00:22.41] And I'm afraid to say it out loud
[00:28.27] Then you replied, could I've done something
[00:31.77] You got some nerve asking me now
