Thought I would hate it Seeing you wasting away Nothing to say Now that you're taken I would be faking if I Said that I wasn't surprised And all the melodies that I thought you wrote for me Are you singing them for her now instead? Thought I'd be better by now Than when we were together I'd be better by now I guess you don't remember Said you were waiting So I counted days till the fall Never said nothing at all (Never said nothing at all) I went away and You stayed the same through it all Knew I was right all along And all the melodies that I thought you wrote for me Are you singing them for her now instead? And every part of me that still holds onto the dream That you never meant the words that you said I'd be better by now Than when we were together I'd be better by now, better I'd be better by now Than when we were together I'd be better by now I guess you don't remember Tell me you're better off with her And she doesn't have the burden I'm better by now Better, better, better Better by now Better by now
