“Better (But Not Me)” — Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m better, I’m better
Her love makes me better
But what is better?
Who is better?
Am I better
or just easier to hold now?
They say “look at you now”
you’ve come a long way
grown up, grown proud
like I was meant to be saved this way
Pre-Chorus
Dim the lights
take a bow
I learned how to smile on cue somehow
they clap like I’ve changed for good
but I don’t know if I should
Chorus
Me
her
us
I was me when she was her
now I can’t tell where I blur
they say love made me new
but I don’t know what’s true
if I’m better like they say
why do I feel far away?
Verse 2
Look at you now, they say again
you’re so loved, you’re so “then and then”
like I became what I was meant to be
but forgot what it cost to be me
she lives in my sentences
I live in what she lets me be
we’re still “us,” they call it that
but I don’t know if I get me back
Pre-Chorus
Dim the lights
take a bow
I’m good at being someone now
but the stage stays on too long
and I don’t feel like I belong
Chorus
Me
her
us
I was me when she was her
now I can’t tell where I blur
they say love made me new
but I don’t know what’s true
if I’m better like they say
why do I feel far away?
Bridge
To be loved
to be lost
to become what it cost
I learned how to stay
by disappearing slowly in place
and if this is me
is it enough?
and if this is me
why does it feel like giving up?
Final Chorus (soft / breaking)
Me
her
us
I was me when she was her
now I don’t know where I blur
they say love made me new
but I don’t feel like it’s true
if I’m better like they say
why am I still fading away?
Verse 1
