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


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.

Well 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

I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me
Please


'Cause 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.

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


Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
Though he's gone

And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on


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.
