[Verse 1]
You said I was “too emotional”
Funny how you loved it at the start
Now you scrolling through my pictures
Trying to study how I glow this hard
New nails, new hair, new habits
New peace, new bed, less baggage
You tried to turn my soft to damage
But I turned the damage into magic (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You see me out now, laughing from my chest
You see me winning, and it’s pressing on your head
You hit my phone like, “We should try again”
I left you on read, let that message sit
[Chorus]
I’m better when you miss me
You’re bitter when you see me
You chose your ego over love
Now you’re choking on the memory
You’re hating every girl you meet
’Cause they don’t do it like me
I’m better when you miss me
You’re the one who has to live with “what if we…”
[Verse 2]
You played small games, I played long term
You liked control, I liked to learn
You liked me broken, I liked me whole
So I packed my tears and I took my soul
Now you side-eye every happy couple
Thinking, “That was us before the trouble”
But I grew up and you stayed double
Two faces, same old struggle (mm)
[Pre-Chorus]
You see me dancing, not afraid to sweat
You see me loved right, no more second guess
You hit my girls like, “Put in a word”
They left you on seen, like you left me hurt (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m better when you miss me
You’re bitter when you see me
You chose your ego over love
Now you’re choking on the memory
You’re hating every girl you meet
’Cause they don’t do it like me
I’m better when you miss me
You’re the one who has to live with “what if we…”
[Bridge]
Thought I’d break, but I broke that pattern
Cut your name out my daily chatter
Now you taste me in every drink
Hear my laugh every time you blink (yeah)
You reject every heart that wants you
’Cause deep down you know the truth
You can’t take a love that honest
So you keep on running from the proof (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m better when you miss me
You’re bitter when you see me
You chose your ego over love
Now you’re choking on the memory
You’re hating every girl you meet
’Cause they don’t do it like me
I’m better when you miss me
You’re the one who has to live with “what if we…”
I’m better when you miss me
And you’re the one stuck asking, “What did I do?”
