Thought that it'd be fatal walking out that door
Came back for seconds just to break you once more
And it was painful
That you couldn't understand why I was unhappy
I was invested
I would win over your parents
Get a place in Los Angeles
Both miss our families
But we'll make it work
We never made it work
We talked about forever
But this is all there was
And we said we would change for the sake of us, ahai
Well I guess we forgot
Maybe we don't care enough
Yeah we thought that it was brave if we stayed
And figured it out
And if we swept all our pain into a shadow of doubt
And if we gave up, that would be the easy way out
But we're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together now
Was meant to be this lonely
Tingled in your web
Every lie you told me had me hanging by a thread
I had to let go
It wasn't healthy to pretend we were friends
We were too different
I was such a free spirit
Never saw me getting tired of your tunnel vision
Couldn't make it work
Couldn't make it
We talked about forever
But this is all that we've got
And we said that we would change for the sake of us, ahai
Well I guess we forgot
Maybe we don't care enough
Yeah we thought that it was brave if we stayed
And figured it out
And if we swept all our pain into a shadow of doubt
And if we gave up, that would be the easy way out
But we're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together now
I like me better when I'm not there with you
We're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together
We're both better when we're not together now
