Better Without You Lyrics

I used to believe your words, every lie, every turn

You made me feel small, like I couldn't breathe

Blame for everything, even when I believed you

Wore your pride like a crown of glass

Never a moment where I didn't feel the past

You made me doubt who I could be

But now I see the strength inside of me

You try to break me down, keep me in line

But I'm stronger now, I've crossed that line

You can keep your pride, you're a bitter game

I found my peace and I'm not the same

I'm better without you, don't need your shame

I'm rising higher, I found my name

You can't hold me back, no matter how hard you try

I'm free now, and I'm reaching for the sky

You wanted control, but I broke your hold

Now I'm shining brighter than I've ever, ever been told

You thought you'd win, but you lost the fight

I'm better without you, and I'm walking into the light

I used to cry myself to sleep

Wishing for a love that wasn't so deep

You took my trust and you tore it apart

Now I'm whole, I've healed my heart

I've learned to stand tall and walk my way

I don't need you to make me stay

Your bitterness is all you have left

But I'm finally free, I'm not bereft

You try to break me down, keep me in line

But I'm stronger now, I've crossed that line

You can keep your pride, you're a bitter game

I found my peace and I'm not the same

I'm better without you, don't need your shame

I'm rising higher, I found my name

You can't hold me back, no matter how hard you try

I'm free now, and I'm reaching for the sky

You wanted control, but I broke your hold

Now I'm shining brighter than I've ever, ever been told

You thought you'd win, but you lost the fight

I'm better without you, and I'm walking into the light

You can't have me anymore

I've walked through the storm and I'm sure

I'm not your puppet, I'm not your toy

I found my voice, I found my joy

I'm better without you, don't need your shame

I'm rising higher, I found my name

You can't hold me back, no matter how hard you try

I'm free now, and I'm reaching for the sky

You wanted control, but I broke your hold

Now I'm shining brighter than I've ever, ever been told

You thought you'd win, but you lost the fight

I'm better without you, you're just a shadow in my past

I'm free at last, I'm free at last

I'm better without you, I found my truth

I'm stronger now, and I found my youth
