Better Off

(album: Ryland James - 2020)

I thought I knew you
I was so wrong
Blinded by beauty, the feeling you gave me, like I belonged
So why am I so lonely
With love on the shelf?
You're making me think, I'd be better off loving myself

It's getting heavy
I need a release
I gotta face the truth if I'm ever gonna be free
Time to be honest
You want someone else
It's hard to admit, I'd be better off loving myself

I need to let go, 'cause this isn't love
I'm tempted to be someone I'm not
But every time I try, it just breaks my heart
Breaks my heart, let it go

I need to let go, 'cause this isn't love, oh no
I'm tempted to be someone I'm not
But every time I try, it just breaks my heart
Breaks my heart, let it go

I'm done with pretending, I'm over regret
I'm not gonna cry another tear for a love that's already dead
I'm moving on, and I made it through hell
Now that I know, I'm better off loving myself
