Stage of grief: n/a “I trusted you to break my heart, not make me question what we were” {lyrics} Verse 1: I knew this would happen That I’d end up crying on my floor over you But I kinda hoped you wouldn’t That you wouldn’t end things like this Knew you’d be the one to break my heart Never saw it in you to treat me like this I knew there was a risk I just trusted you more than this Pre-chorus: I wasn’t blind, I just believed you When you stayed Until you didn’t And you left me second-guessing my judgement Chorus: Cause you let me go without hesitation You didn’t think twice before leaving my life You ghosted me like it was no big deal Let me chase you for answers til you called it quits I thought I knew you, At least better than this Verse 2: I knew that you would be The love of my life or my greatest regret Cause when you love like I loved you, There’s no in between Pre-chorus: I wasn’t blind, I just believed you When you stayed Until you didn’t And you left me second-guessing my judgement Chorus: Cause you let me go without hesitation You didn’t think twice before leaving my life You ghosted me like it was no big deal Let me chase you for answers til you called it quits I thought I knew you, At least better than this Bridge: I knew there’d come a day where I’d have to lose you, I just thought we’d have more time I knew loving you was risky But I thought you were worth the price I feared the ending from the beginning But somehow I got something worse Cause I trusted you to break my heart, Not make me question what we were Chorus: Cause you let me go without hesitation You didn’t think twice before leaving my life You ghosted me like it was no big deal Let me chase you for answers til you called it quits I thought I knew you I thought I really knew you, Yeah, I thought I knew you At least better than this
Me for the guitar, lyrics, and vocals {info} Run time - 4:05 Key - F major BPM - 142 {note} I wrote “Better Than This”, the 9th track on “grief” after replaying everything that happened with my relationship over and over again, trying to understand how someone who had once been so sweet, caring, and goofy could treat my heart with such carelessness. This song is about knowing that loving someone deeply always comes with the risk of getting hurt, but trusting the person you chose to be gentle with you if it ever ended. It’s about the heartbreak of questioning what you thought you knew about your partner. I hope you enjoy “Better Than This”! <333 p.s. I also wrote this song at 5 am bc I couldn’t sleep :P hahahaha it connects to Mourning Til Morning heh
