Better Than Me

Lyrics

Verse 1
You call me names at midnight
Like it’s nothing, like I’m fine
He brings me tea in the morning
And says my scars look like gold lines

You slam the door, I stay quiet
He holds my hand, lets me breathe
You make a joke, call it love
He sees the parts you never see

Pre-Chorus
And I keep thinking
Why do I stay?
You leave me bruised
He makes room for my pain

Chorus
He treats me better
Better than you do
He treats me better
That’s why I’m leaving you
He treats me better
Better than you
(he treats me better)
And I’m done being blue

Verse 2
You twist my words on the table
Then act like I’m the one confused
He asks me what I’m feeling
He never makes me beg for proof

You love the fight, not the feeling
I love the calm in his arms
You take and take till I’m empty
He gives me back what you took apart

Pre-Chorus
And I keep thinking
Why do I stay?
You leave me bruised
He makes room for my pain

Chorus
He treats me better
Better than you do
He treats me better
That’s why I’m leaving you
He treats me better
Better than you
(he treats me better)
And I’m done being blue

Bridge
I know my worth now
I know my name
He doesn’t use it
Like it’s something to blame

So keep your sharp words
Keep your empty hands
I found a softer
Better kind of man

Final Chorus
He treats me better
Better than you do
He treats me better
That’s why I’m leaving you
He treats me better
Better than you
(he treats me better)
And I’m done being blue
