Better Was You
Sitting here
Feeling like I'm in the wrong gear
Like the minutes go too slow, then it's too fast
Zoning into my thoughts
Trying not to notice that
It's been a year
Still feeling like it's unclear
How I feel about you, how you feel about us
How the time is not enough to help me figure out
What you meant when you said that I deserve better
When the better's when we were together
You said that you're not what I need
You couldn't be that better for me
Ya you said that I deserve better
How's it better when we're not together
Ya maybe I'm not what you need
But still wish that it could have been me
Ya I deserve better
Wish that better was you
Just last year
We were high up in the stratosphere
Living life as if the time froze
We were so close
Fragile in this bubble
Now I'm wondering when that flame had disappeared
Never thought that I would be here
Cuz I thought you felt it too
Was I too much for you
Or would I ever figure out the truth to what you meant
When you said that I deserve better
When the better's when we were together
You said that you're not what I need
You couldn't be that better for me
Ya you said that I deserve better
How's it better when we're not together
Ya maybe I'm not what you need
But still wish that it could have been me
Ya I deserve better
Wish that better was you
I rather that you blame it on me
At least I know we're not meant to be
I rather that you tell me to leave
Cuz baby I would stay if I believed
That you meant it when you said that I deserve better
Cuz the better's when we are together
You said that you're not what I need
You couldn't be that better for me
Ya you said that I deserve better
How's it better when we're not together
Ya maybe I'm not what you need
But still wish that it could have been me
(I deserve better)
Ya wish that better was you
Wish that better was you
(I deserve better)
Wish that better was you
Wish that better was you
Feeling like I'm in the wrong gear
Like the minutes go too slow, then it's too fast
Zoning into my thoughts
Trying not to notice that
It's been a year
Still feeling like it's unclear
How I feel about you, how you feel about us
How the time is not enough to help me figure out
What you meant when you said that I deserve better
When the better's when we were together
You said that you're not what I need
You couldn't be that better for me
Ya you said that I deserve better
How's it better when we're not together
Ya maybe I'm not what you need
But still wish that it could have been me
Ya I deserve better
Wish that better was you
Just last year
We were high up in the stratosphere
Living life as if the time froze
We were so close
Fragile in this bubble
Now I'm wondering when that flame had disappeared
Never thought that I would be here
Cuz I thought you felt it too
Was I too much for you
Or would I ever figure out the truth to what you meant
When you said that I deserve better
When the better's when we were together
You said that you're not what I need
You couldn't be that better for me
Ya you said that I deserve better
How's it better when we're not together
Ya maybe I'm not what you need
But still wish that it could have been me
Ya I deserve better
Wish that better was you
I rather that you blame it on me
At least I know we're not meant to be
I rather that you tell me to leave
Cuz baby I would stay if I believed
That you meant it when you said that I deserve better
Cuz the better's when we are together
You said that you're not what I need
You couldn't be that better for me
Ya you said that I deserve better
How's it better when we're not together
Ya maybe I'm not what you need
But still wish that it could have been me
(I deserve better)
Ya wish that better was you
Wish that better was you
(I deserve better)
Wish that better was you
Wish that better was you
