And when you close your eyes, do you see
You just can't force what shouldn't be
And when you wake up torn in two
Is it because you're alone, or cause it's true?

The only thing left of your memory
Is the sense you were only just settling
And you're bitter, it took you so long to see
That you're better without it, you're better without it

Give it up, it's not gonna happen
There's so many good things to hold on to
You don't stop, you don't stop loving
But you're better without it, you're better without it

You've got your friends and new routines
To keep you moving in between
And when you wake up torn in two
Is it because you're alone, or cause its true?

The danger strikes on til you fall asleep
And it's quiet for once, but the silence speaks
And you're bitter, it took you so long to see
That you're better without it, you're better without it

Give it up, it's not gonna happen
There's so many good things to hold on to
You don't stop, you don't stop loving
But you're better without it, you're better without it
It's so hard when your heart's so broken
Never ready to just be through
You don't stop, you don't stop loving,
but you're better without it, you're better without it

You're stronger without the pain,
Left with only the memories
Knowing that you'll always be there

The candle was burning at both its ends
And the smoke has you hoping you're still just friends
And you're bitter, it took you so long to see
That you're better without it, you're better without it
Your emptiness feels like a prison now
Where you're locked up for losing yourself somehow
And you feel like your love was your only way out
But you're better without it, you're better without it

Give it up, it's not gonna happen
There's so many good things to hold on to
You don't stop, you don't stop loving
But you're better without it, you're better without it
It's so hard when your heart's so broken
Never ready to just be through
You don't stop, you don't stop loving
But you're better without it, you're better without it
