Better (unplugged)

Lyrics

[Spoken] Y'all better get your tissues [Verse 1] We got back, it's not the same And I'm afraid to say it out loud Then you replied, "Could I have done something?" You've 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 bear the way You look at me when I let you down [Pre-Chorus] 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 we would be closer We took some time further apart [Chorus] Didn't it make you better? Aren't we better now? I know it made me better Aren't we better now? [Verse 2] Been six months, it's my birthday And it feels good to hear your voice We took a ride through the hills Replayed 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 I'm not there anymore [Pre-Chorus] 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 we would be closer We took some time further apart [Chorus] Aren't we better now? And I know it made me better Aren't we better now [Bridge] That we been around the block once or twice? Breaking down in the middle of the night, no ride (No ride) And then somehow we fixed it (Somehow we fixed it) Glad we're talking when we used to fight Still bail me out when my money ain't right, oh no (Oh no) And now we're riding through the— (Oh no) All the things I had to keep at bay Stopped you but I could've waited all day, all night It could've been forever Told you that I needed time to hate There's a lot to think about while you wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Tell me one more time [Interlude] Didn't I make you better? Oh, didn't I make you better? Oh, didn't I make you better? (Didn't I? Didn't I?) Didn't I make you better? (Y'all better sing) Makes me wanna say [Chorus] Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, ooh Didn't it make you better? (Doo-doo) Aren't we better now? (Doo-doo) And I know it made me better (Doo-doo) Aren't we better now? Mm [Outro] No, no, no, no, no, no, no [Spoken] Thank you Um, that table over there, my dad is over there And I will say that he planted a very deliberate seed, he planted the jazz seed, he knew what he was doing Um, I know my range of just the types of things that I can get on, the types of things that I can do with music Has so much to do with the seed that was planted, that just kinda didn't follow any particular rule Um, and I'm so grateful for that, dad, thank you for that Thank you guys once more for coming out, it's been such a pleasure This is gonna be my last tune
