Better

Kelela - Better Lyrics

[Verse 1]We got back, it's not the sameAnd I'm afraid to say it out loudThen you replied, "Could I have done something?"You've got some nerve asking me nowThough I'm in love with it, I will amputateI care enough not to keep you aroundIs it rough for you? I can't bear the wayYou look at me when I let you down[Pre-Chorus]Tell me, is this how it goes when you let someone knowThat they gave it their best but you still gotta roll?Remember, I told you that we would be closerIf we took some time further apart[Chorus]Didn't it make you better?Aren't we better now?I know it made me betterAren't we better now?[Verse 2]Been six months, it's my birthdayAnd it feels good to hear your voiceWe took a ride through the hillsReplayed all of the reasons I made that choiceWe go around the bend only to revealWhat we couldn't see beforeWe're better off as friends, baby, you can't stayWe both know I'm not there anymore[Pre-Chorus]Tell me, is this how it goes when you let someone knowThat it's all for the best? We cut and we growRemember, I told you that we would be closerIf we took some time further apart[Chorus]Didn't it make you better?Aren't we better now?I know it made me betterAren't we better now...[Bridge]That we been around the block once or twice?Breaking down in the middle of the night, no rideAnd then somehow we fixed itGlad we're talking when we used to fightStill bail me out when my money ain't right, oh noAnd now we're riding through the nightAll the things I had to keep at bayStopped you but I could've waited all day, all nightCould've been foreverTold you that I needed time to hateBut there's a lot to think about while you wait, wait, wait, wait, waitTell me one more time[Chorus]Didn't it make you better?Aren't we better now?I know it made me betterAren't we better now?[Outro]No, no, no, no, no, no, no
