Lyrics
[verse]
Heard you're doing good now, heard you found your groove
Heard you finally figured out the moves you had to move
I was in the way of something that you had to be
Guess it took the distance to finally set us free
[verse]
I keep telling everybody that I'm doing fine
Truth is I keep checking every now and then online
Saw you smiling brighter than you did with me
Guess that's just the way it's supposed to be
[chorus]
You're better now, you're better now, I hear it in your voice
You're better now, you're better now, you made the right choice
I'm better now, I'm better now, at least that's what I say
Trying to convince myself the same way every day
[verse]
Friends keep telling me you're happy, telling me you moved along
Building up a life that plays a different kind of song
I should be happy for you, part of me still is
But there's a piece of me still stuck on how it is
[chorus]
You're better now, you're better now, I hear it in your voice
You're better now, you're better now, you made the right choice
I'm better now, I'm better now, at least that's what I say
Trying to convince myself the same way every day
[bridge]
Maybe someday both of us will mean it when we say
We're better now, we're better now, and finally okay
Until then I'll keep pretending, keep the smile in place
Better now's a lie I wear across my face
[chorus]
You're better now, you're better now, I hear it in your voice
You're better now, you're better now, you made the right choice
I'm better now, I'm better now, at least that's what I say
Trying to convince myself the same way every day
