Capo 2
Verse 1:
he and I had something beautiful
but so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
‘cause I knew he'd never love me back
Pre-chorus:
such pain as this
shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss,
still a little bit delirious
Chorus:
near to you, I am healing
but it's taking so long
'cause though he's gone
and you are wonderful
it's hard to move on
yet, I'm better near to you.
Verse 2:
you and I have something different
and I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred,
but I am working oh so hard
to get back to who I used to be
Pre-chorus:
he's disappearing, fading steadily
well, I'm so close to being yours,
won’t you stay with me, please
Chorus:
near to you, I am healing
but it's taking so long
'cause though he's gone
and you are wonderful
it’s hard to move on
yet, I'm better near to you
instrumental:
Bridge:
I only know that
I am better where you are
I only know that
I am better where you are
I only know that I belong
where you are
Chorus:
near to you, I am healing
but it's taking so long
'cause though he's gone
and you are wonderful
it’s hard to move on
yet, I'm better near to you
yet, I'm better near to you
