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

Such pain as this
Shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss, 
Still a little bit delirious
 [bad word] ]
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.

You and I have something different
And I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be

He's disappearing 
Fading steadily
And I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me?
Please

'Cause...
 [bad word] 

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
 [bad word] 

Yet, I'm better near to you.
