Better Than You Left Me (Live)

[Speaking]
So, this final song that I'm singing tonight is my first single, and it means so much to me because it was one of the first songs that I wrote out in Nashville when I first moved out there three years ago. And I'll never forget it — before I wrote this song, I had gotten into a fight with my ex-boyfriend, who was not the best person for me. And we went back and forth for so long, and then finally this conversation is where I put my foot down, where I was like, "No, I will not be with you ever again." And I'll never forget it — hе said to me, "Don't make me find somеbody else." So I said, "Go find somebody else, and I hope she makes you happy." And then I hung up with him, and I went and wrote this song in about thirty minutes. And it means a lot to me, and it's called 'Better Than You Left Me.'

[Verse 1]
You said goodbye with words cold as ice
I was shaking watching you go
I couldn’t breathe
No, I just couldn’t see past you leaving me here all alone
It’s funny what a little time does, baby

[Chorus]
I’m better than you left me
I’m better than I should be
I’m better than I was when you walked out that door
I’m stronger than the woman, the one that you knew back then
So don’t you think I’ll take you back like every time before
No, baby I don’t think you know me anymore
I’m better than you left me

[Verse 2]
Now here you are trying to win back my heart
And I bet you thought it’d be easy to do
But baby I've changed
Now you get a taste of standing on the side where you lose
Ain’t it funny what a little time does, baby

[Chorus]
I’m better than you left me
I’m better than I should be
I’m better than I was when you walked out that door
I’m stronger than the woman, the one that you knew back then
So don’t you think I’ll take you back like every time before
No, baby I don’t think you know me anymore
I’m better than you left me

[Bridge]
Now I love deeper and I laugh a little bit louder
I smile brighter and I fly higher

[Chorus]
I’m stronger than the woman, the one that you knew back then
So don’t you think I'll take you back like every time before
No, baby I don’t think you know me anymore
I’m better than you left me
