I stood my ground when you knocked me out,
These cruel games you play bring me down.
Your words like weapons and I keep forgetting,
You say it’s better but I know you’re threatened.
You can be so dark when you’re not,
With what you want, mark my words it’s hard, it’s hard.
It’s wrong that you were lost but that’s not,
What you are, it’s dark, it’s dark.
It’s better now, it’s better now.
I’ll reject your calls and I’m better,
Pictures off my wall and I’m better,
I forget it all and I’m better,
I’m better, I’m better.
Burn it in the fire and I’m better,
I can see the light and I’m better,
I was always right and I’m better,
I’m better, better, I’m better.
You kept me low feeding your ego,
I forgot you’re not good to know.
And I was ruined, you left too soon but,
Now I’m improving and I keep on moving.
And I can be so strong now you’re not,
All of me, what you’ve got now is gone, it’s gone.
It’s lost on me, you’ve lost the key,
You set me free and I’m gone, I’m gone.
I’m better now, I’m better now.
I reject your calls and I’m better,
Pictures off my wall and I’m better,
I forget it all and I’m better,
I’m better, better.
Burn it in the fire and I’m better,
I can see the light and I’m better,
I was always right and I’m better,
I’m better, better, I’m better.
I don’t know your name, ‘cause I’m better,
I can feed your shame.
Feels like this was fate, with me better,
But I don’t know your name.
It’s better now, oh, it’s better now, yeah.
I reject your calls and I’m better,
Pictures off my wall and I’m better,
I forget it all and I’m better,
Oh, I’m better, I’m better.
What you are is done ‘cause I’m better,
I don’t need your love and I’m better,
Only tell you once but I’m better,
I’m better, better, I’m better.
Burn it in the fire and I’m better,
I can see a light and I’m better,
I was always right and I’m better,
I’m better, I’m better.
