Better Without You

Listen

Written by Marielle Kraft

Empathy

Working on having a bit more empathy

The story’s so much deeper than what I can see

Listening before I open up to speak, enough of me

Recovery

January stripped away the best in me

Had to find the beauty in the rest of me

Picking up the pieces of what’s left of me, building a better me

I don’t mean to think about you lately

But I do, but I do

I don’t wanna relive all these memories

Made with you, made with you

When you call me up to ask me back

I let it ring with tears held back

You don’t know me lately

I am better, better without you

Better without you

Delaware

All of this, it all comes back in Delaware

Our fortress made of cobblestone held secrets there

Falling in and out of love too hard to care

Something we’ll always share

I don’t mean to think about you lately

But I do, but I do

I don’t wanna relive all these memories

Made with you, made with you

When you call me up to ask me back

I let it ring with tears held back

You don’t know me lately

I am better, better without you

Better without you

Bridge

I’ve had time to grow my friendships without you, without you

Invested in my music without you, without you

I’m playing New York City without you, without you

I’m seeing what the truth is without you, without you

You didn’t think it’d be forever without you, without you

But everyday keeps getting better

I don’t mean to think about you lately

But I do (but I do) but I do (but I do)

I don’t wanna relive all these memories

Made with you (made with you) made with you (made with you)

When you call me up to ask me back

I let it ring, no turning back

You still think I’m crazy

About you (about you) about you (about you)

But you don’t know me lately

I am better, better without you

Better without you
