Been around the block once or twice
Breaking up in the middle of the night, alright
Why we talking when we used to fight
Still bail me out when my money ain't right, oh no
All the things I had to keep, baby
Start your fight, I could've waited all day, all night
Told you that I needed time to wait
But there's a lot to think about while you wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait

We got back, it's not the same
And I'm afraid to say it out loud
Then you replied, "Could I have done something? "
You got some nerve asking me now
Though I'm in love with it
I will amputate
I care enough not to keep you around
Is it rough for you?
I can't bear the way you look at me when I let you down

Tell me is this how it goes?
When you let someone know
That they gave it their best
But you still gotta roll
Remember, I told you that we would be closer
If we took some time further apart

Didn't it make you better?
Aren't we better now?
I know it made me better
Aren't we better?

Been six months, it's my birthday
And it feels good to hear your voice
We took a ride through the hills
Replayed all of the reasons I made that choice
We go around the bend only to reveal
What we couldn't see before
We're better off as friends, baby, you can't stay
We both know we're not there anymore

Tell me, is this how it goes
When you let someone know
That it's all for the best?
We cut and we grow
Remember, I told you that we would be closer
If we took some time further apart

Didn't it make you better?
Aren't we better now?
I know it made me better
Aren't we better now

Been around the block once or twice
Breaking up in the middle of the night, alright
Told you that I needed time to wait
But there's a lot to think about while you wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Tell me one more time

Didn't it make you better?
Aren't we better now?
I know it made me better
Aren't we better now
