Better Without You

You said I’d fall apart

If you ever walked away

Funny how I found my feet

On the coldest kind of day

Used to choke on all the quiet

Now the silence feels like room

I still trip on old reminders

But I don’t trip over you

Life is not easy

But better without you

Still got my battles

But I’m making it through

I carry these scars

Like something I grew

Life is not easy

But better without you (yeah, better without you)

Coffee in a chipped glass

Wallet full of overdue

Still

I breathe a little lighter

Since I’m not defending you

Friends don’t walk on eggshells

Home don’t feel like a test

I’m still sleeping with the lights on

But at least I get to rest

Life is not easy

But better without you

Still got my battles

But I’m making it through

I carry these scars

Like something I grew

Life is not easy

But better without you (better, better)

Some nights I almost call

Just to hear that old excuse

Then I remember how it felt

Living smaller next to you

Life is not easy

But better without you

Still got my battles

But I’m making it through

I carry these scars

Like something I grew

Life is not easy

But better without you

Yeah

Life’s still not easy

But better without you
