Mm, I gave you all my love but you weren't ready, ready
Mm, you was out there chasing games, moving petty, petty
Had to learn how to breathe without your name, without your name
Still hurts but growth comes through pain, pain
Oh, I know, I know you tried
I tried to hold it down but I was slipping, slipping
Didn't see the blessing that I had, now I'm tripping, tripping
Still I found my peace, God heard my cry
Letting go ain't losing, sometimes love just dies, dies
Why we fight for love that wasn't right
Why we act like we ain't prayed every night
Thought forever meant forever this time
But sometimes forever ain't a line
Still we tried, oh, we tried
No hard feelings, I ain't ashamed, I know
You lost the best love you ever had
You gon' see one day
I know that you'll look back
It's ahead, better things ahead, yeah
We're moving on like I said
You were my first but not my last
Stepping forward, leave the past
Better things ahead
I wanted a ring, you wanted space
Took a little time but now I found my place
I'm healing inside, finally see the truth
Sometimes goodbye is the best for me and you
For me and you
I wanted forever but didn't know how
But I pray for your heart even now
We left from a distance to wishing the best
We passed every test by learning to rest
I know you still think of me
Boy, you know you'll always be a part of me
We could've fought harder
But we're stronger separately
No hard feelings, I ain't ashamed
You lost the best love you ever had
You gon' see one day
And now I know that you'll look back
Look back, yeah
Better things ahead
We're moving on like I said
You were my first but not my last
Stepping forward, leave the past
I know you still think of me
Boy, you know you'll always be a part of me
We could've fought harder
But we're stronger separately
Together
We're better, better things ahead
No more sleepless nights, no more
No more trying to force what was never right
I'm letting it burn, letting it fade
Burn it down
No more tears, I'm finally brave
Praying, but we're awake
We learned our worth, we walked away
We walked away
Now blessings come in better days
Better things ahead
We'll be alright
Our hearts let go, let go
But we're still sure, yeah
Together
Better things ahead
Together
Better things ahead
Together
Still apart from afar
Better things ahead
