Better Version

I was kind, I was warm, I was patient

All the nights that you cried when you're wasted

Hold your hand, rub your chest when you're anxious

Helped you with the career you were makin'

Look at you, you're a star, I'm the reason

That you're more confident, motivated (oh)

And honestly, your new girlfriend should thank me

For how it all worked out

I guess you're all grown up now

Do you think of me when you f- her?

Do you use the moves, the ones we learned?

It's always the next person

That gets the better version

'Cause baby, I loved you at your worst

And I fixed your heart, but mine still hurts

And now some other person

Is gonna get the better version of you

Of you

We were young, we were dumb, we had issues

But I thought I could work on 'em with you

God knows that we tried, yeah, we tried so hard (so hard)

And I did the heavy liftin'

But she'll get a happy endin'

Now the credits are rollin', I played my part

Do you think of me when you f- her?

Do you use the moves, the ones we learned?

It's always the next person

That gets the better version

'Cause baby, I loved you at your worst

And I fixed your heart, but mine still hurts

And now some other person

Is gonna get the better version of you

Of you, of you, of you

You were kind, you were warm, you were patient

Helped me with the career I was makin'

Look at me, I'm a star, you're the reason

And I think of you when I f- her

I use the moves, the ones we learned

It's always the next person

That gets the better version

'Cause baby, you loved me at my worst

And you fixed my heart, but the thing that hurts

Is now some other person

Is gonna get the better version

And now some other person

Is gonna get the better version of me
