Kelela - Better Lyrics

We got back it's not the same
And I'm afraid to say it out loud
Then you replied, could I've 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 bare the wait
You looking 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
Now?

Been six months since my birthday
And it feels good to hear your voice
We took a ride through the hills we played
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 (I know, I know)
Aren't we better now? (aren't we better now?)

Been around the block once or twice
Breaking up in the middle of the night
No way (no way)
So how we fix that (so how we fix that)
Better talking than we used fight
Still fill me up when my money ain't right, oh no (oh no)
All the things it had to be baby
Start your fight
I could've waited all day, all night (Could've been forever)
Told you that I needed time
There's a lot to think about while you 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?
