Lyrics

Before It Was Better

© 2007 Lyrics: Leigh Mullis, Music: Steve Hacker

[Verse 1]

Must be nice to hold someone new, but I wouldn?t know.
You don?t know what I?ve been going through.
I know she?s been seeing you.

Stop right there. You don?t have to explain.
It?s probably better this way.

[Chorus]

But I liked it better before it was better.
Before I knew you were with her.
Every night I waited ?til dawn.
But you always stayed gone.

[Verse 2]

My friends keep telling me I did the right thing by ending it with you.
There?s better things I could do right now. But I don?t think that?s true.

I probably should move on since I was the one to let you go.
But when I see you with another I think of how I loved you so.

[Chorus]

But I liked it better before it was better.
Before I knew you were with her.
Every night I waited ?til dawn.
But you always stayed gone.

[Bridge]

Scared to start running ?cause I don?t wanna fall
In love again, so why am I thinking this at all

[Chorus]

And I liked it better before it was better.
Before I knew you were with her.
I liked it better before it was better.
Before I knew you were with her.
Every night I waited ?til dawn.
But you always stayed gone.
