Tyler Shaw shared to Atwood Magazine:
There’s a pop ballad on the new album that I think means the most, called ‘Worse For Me’. I think people know me as the pop ballad guy, but this song takes a bit of a different approach lyrically. I write a lot about being in love and that honeymoon phase of lo...
[Verse 1]
I can't stop myself from thinking
Can’t stop my gut from sinking
Is there something I could say
That would make you wanna stay
And now I'm going under
I wish you would come over
Stop me packing up your stuff
Say you're missing us
[Chorus]
Cause you used to be a part of me
Now you’re only somebody
From strangers to my everything
To strangers who don't say a thing
A couple years then you just left
Set fire to my loneliness
I understand you had to leave
What's best for you was worse for me
[Post-Chorus]
Worse for me, worse me (Ya)
Worse for me, worse me (Ya)
Worse for me
What's best for you was worse for me
[Verse 2]
Did you feel it when my heart stopped?
Did you see it when my eyes dropped?
Wish you didn't mean it
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't help but think you were good for me
I was good for you
I guess I ignored all the red lights
And I couldn't hate you, if I wanted to
And I blame myself for loving you
[Chorus]
Cause you used to be a part of me
Now you're only somebody
From strangers to my everything
To strangers who don’t say a thing
A couple years then you just left
Set fire to my loneliness
I understand you had to leave
What’s best for you was worse for me
[Post-Chorus]
Worse for me, worse me (Ya)
Worse for me, worse me (Ya)
Worse for me
What's best for you was worse for me
[Chorus]
Used to be a part of me
Now you’re only somebody
From strangers to my everything
To strangers who don't say a thing
A couple years then you just left
Set fire to my loneliness
I understand you had to leave
What's best for you was worse for me
[Post-Chorus]
Worse for me, worse me (Ya)
Worse for me, worse me (Ya)
Worse for me
What's best for you was worse for me
