Better Than Me
Just a couple of blinded believers
We were nothing but smoke and mirrors
Trying to make it work when it didn't
Even magic is just an illusion
We had faith, but fate never came through
It ain't your fault, but I'm still gonna blame you
Wish you well, but not right now
I hope it's hell, at least for a while
When you see me around, I hope you look away
Cause I still make you feel some kinda way
I hope that what might have been is worse than regret
I hope you come back stronger, just not yet
I hope that you move on, but can't get past the memories
Boy I wish you the best, but not better than me
Call me jaded, call me a cynic
Call me petty- hell, I'll admit it
We were good enough for a minute
But I knew that your heart wasn't in it
And even though we were pretending
The pain is as real as the ending
Wish you well, but not right now
I hope it's hell, at least for a while
When you see me around, I hope you look away
Cause I still make you feel some kinda way
I hope that what might have been is worse than regret
I hope you come back stronger, just not yet
I hope that you move on, but can't get past the memories
Boy I wish you the best, but not better than me
You don't have to hate me
You don't have to miss me
To be a little bit hung up on my memory
Your whole damn world, it don't have to turn round what we used to be
I don't have to haunt you, make you colder
I ain't tryna leave a chip on your shoulder
I just wanna know that you know what you lost when you lost me
Wish you well, but not right now
I hope it's hell, at least for a while
When you see me around, I hope you look away
Cause I still make you feel some kinda way
I hope that what might have been is worse than regret
I hope you come back stronger, just not yet
I hope that you move on, but can't get past the memories
Boy I wish you the best
I wish you the best
I wish you the best
But not better than me
We were nothing but smoke and mirrors
Trying to make it work when it didn't
Even magic is just an illusion
We had faith, but fate never came through
It ain't your fault, but I'm still gonna blame you
Wish you well, but not right now
I hope it's hell, at least for a while
When you see me around, I hope you look away
Cause I still make you feel some kinda way
I hope that what might have been is worse than regret
I hope you come back stronger, just not yet
I hope that you move on, but can't get past the memories
Boy I wish you the best, but not better than me
Call me jaded, call me a cynic
Call me petty- hell, I'll admit it
We were good enough for a minute
But I knew that your heart wasn't in it
And even though we were pretending
The pain is as real as the ending
Wish you well, but not right now
I hope it's hell, at least for a while
When you see me around, I hope you look away
Cause I still make you feel some kinda way
I hope that what might have been is worse than regret
I hope you come back stronger, just not yet
I hope that you move on, but can't get past the memories
Boy I wish you the best, but not better than me
You don't have to hate me
You don't have to miss me
To be a little bit hung up on my memory
Your whole damn world, it don't have to turn round what we used to be
I don't have to haunt you, make you colder
I ain't tryna leave a chip on your shoulder
I just wanna know that you know what you lost when you lost me
Wish you well, but not right now
I hope it's hell, at least for a while
When you see me around, I hope you look away
Cause I still make you feel some kinda way
I hope that what might have been is worse than regret
I hope you come back stronger, just not yet
I hope that you move on, but can't get past the memories
Boy I wish you the best
I wish you the best
I wish you the best
But not better than me
