Better I go, guess it's better this way Was holdin' on tight, but you never stayed Truth is, we were never a we I was dreamin' us up, you were livin' free Played it cool, held on too long Now I'm just writin' the hurt in a song You weren't only mine, nah, that ain't a lie Took me time, but I opened my eyes Whole thing? Just smoke and mirrors Wasted time, but now it's clearer Hard to swallow when your heart won't listen Still plays dumb, stuck in that rhythm But life got a way to show the truth Pain got a way to bring the proof Maybe we met at the wrong damn time I was thinkin' love, you was chasin' the night Now we stand here, can't say a thing So I came to say goodbye, no wedding ring Maybe we lost it along the road I was next to you but feelin' cold Now we stand here, hearts run dry Ain't nothin' left but a goodbye Better I bounce, yeah Better the end, no doubt This way, better for me And for you too, set us free Better I bounce, yeah Better the end, let it be This way, better for me You played the field, I played it blind Love ain't real when it ain't both sides Took the hit, yeah, took the fall Now I see, I had nothin' at all Hard to swallow when your heart won't listen Still plays dumb, stuck in that rhythm But life got a way to show the truth Pain got a way to bring the proof Maybe we met at the wrong damn time I was thinkin' love, you was chasin' the night Now we stand here, can't say a thing So I came to say goodbye, no wedding ring Maybe we lost it along the road I was next to you but feelin' cold Now we stand here, hearts run dry Ain't nothin' left but a goodbye Better I bounce, yeah Better the end, no doubt This way Better I bounce, yeah Better the end, let it be This way, better for me Maybe we met at the wrong damn time I was thinkin' love, you was chasin' the night Now we stand here, can't say a thing So I came to say goodbye, no wedding ring Maybe we lost it along the road I was next to you but feelin' cold Now we stand here, hearts run dry Ain't nothin' left but a goodbye Better I bounce, yeah Better the end, no doubt This way Better I bounce, yeah Better the end, let it be This way, better for me
