Better For Me

The rain outside is making me wonder why

Can't I find happiness with another guy

Kinda wonder if we're still in love, but it's over now

And all I think about is us back when we were revealing

Saying things that you and me would've never said

Like at that party, we sitting up in there arguing

Disrespecting what we built, I can't help but to think

If we stayed together longer than we did

We'd probably have maybe one or two kids

And we would name 'em after my cousin Michael

Raise 'em right as we try to break the cycle, but I know

If we gave each other a little more time

I know that I gotta move on, let go

Just so I, just so I can be

I can be better, better

I know that I gotta move on, let go

Just so I, just so I can be

I can be better for me

Phone calls out the blue asking how I've been

And adoration in your voice, I hear it on the other end

I'm hoping you wanna make up, but it's just a call

And I can't seem to function at all

Or make decisions in my life for my future

Whether to get a blender or a juicer

I know it's silly to feel, but I can't help but to think

If we gave each other a little more time

We could've planned out the rest of our lives

The big house and extra room for your mother

You'd be my husband, not just my lover

I'd roll the son we named after you and call him Junior

He'd like to play basketball with his Uncle Junior

And I'd be next to you writing a different song

And you'd be hearing "I love you" in that one

Oh, but I know

I know that I gotta move on, let go

Just so I, just so I can be

I can be better, better

I know that I gotta move on, let go

Just so I, just so I can be

I can be better for me

It's simple (You see)

I didn't know how strong I had to be

Apparently, the strength it took to hold on to what we had

Was multiplied to let go of the past
