“Better” tells the story of the aftermath of a failed relationship. The title of the song derives from the narrator hoping that their ex will feel better and is able to move on.
[Verse 1]
Don't feel it all, talk slow and leveled
Foot off the pedal
Same shirt and perfume on
The two of us were accidental
But so good together
Now all I feel is
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So bad about it
I barely left my bed
We talk around it, all for nothing
[Chorus]
So if that’s all it was
If you're good giving in, giving up, I hope
So if that's all it was
Hope you feel better now
And if that’s what you want
If you don't wanna see me at all now
So if that's all it was
Hope you feel better
[Verse 2]
It's been a while
Old clothes fit larger
You're looking smaller
What happened when I left?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm not mad about it
But you've barely left my head
We talk around it, all for nothing
[Chorus]
So if that's all it was
If you’re good giving in, giving up, I hope
So if that’s all it was
Hope you feel better now
And if that's what you want
If you don’t wanna see me at all now
So if that's all it was
Hope you feel better
[Bridge]
I'd turn the car around if you'd let me
If you’d let me, you'd let me, you know
I'd cry my eyes out 'til I'm empty
'Til I'm empty, I'm empty, oh
[Chorus]
So if that's all it was
If you're good giving in, giving up, I hope
So if that's all it was
Hope you feel better now
And if that's what you want
If you don't wanna see me at all now
So if that's all it was
Hope you feel better now
[Outro]
Hope you feel better now
Hope you feel better
