Better Than You Left Me
Rising Strong: Evolving Beyond Heartbreak with Mickey Guyton's Anthem
Lyrics
You said goodbye with words cold as ice
You ended our relationship with emotionally distant and harsh words
I was shaking watching you go
I was physically trembling as I watched you leave
I couldn't breathe
I felt breathless, overwhelmed by the situation
No, I just couldn't see past you leaving me here all alone
I couldn't see beyond the fact that you left me alone
It's funny what a little time does, baby
The passage of time has brought changes
I'm better than you left me
I have improved and grown since you departed
I'm better than I should be
I have become better than I expected or needed to be
I'm better than I was when you walked out that door
I am in a better state than when you walked away
I'm stronger than the woman, the one that you knew back then
I am now stronger than the person you once knew
So don't you think I'll take you back like every time before
I won't take you back as I did in the past
No, baby I don't think you know me anymore
I feel that you don't understand me anymore
I'm better than you left me
I have improved beyond the state you left me in
Now, here you are trying to win back my heart
You are attempting to regain my affection
And I bet you thought it'd be easy to do
You might have thought it would be an easy task
But baby I changed now you get a taste of standing on the side where you lose
I have changed, and now you experience the pain of losing
Ain't it funny what a little time does, baby
The impact of time is evident in the changes
I'm better than you left me
I am in a better state than when you left me
I'm better than I should be
I have surpassed what was necessary for improvement
I'm better than I was when you walked out that door
I am better than I was when you exited my life
I'm stronger than the woman, the one that you knew back then
I have grown stronger than my previous self
So don't you think I'll take you back like every time before
I won't accept you back as I did in the past
No, baby I don't think you know me anymore
I believe you are not familiar with who I am now
I'm better than you left me
I have evolved beyond the person you left behind
Now I love deeper and I laugh a little bit louder
I now love more deeply and express joy more loudly
I smile brighter and I fly higher
I smile more brightly and aim for greater heights
I'm stronger than the woman, the one that you knew back then
I am stronger than the woman you used to know
So don't you think I'll take you back like every time before
I won't welcome you back into my life as before
No, baby I don't think you know me anymore
I sense that you are not familiar with the person I've become
I'm better than you left me
I am in a better emotional state than when you departed
