Halie - "Better Things"

Better Things

Took me two years to figure out
I don't belong here, could've been simple, but I
Couldn't take a step out the door
Couldn't tell you that I wanted more

Yeah, you…
Did a real good job of making me feel like the enemy
So I had to be

Why are you calling me from random numbers, I don't even know
It's why I ain't even been listening to you, I'm happier alone
Why are you wanting me to be hurting and to be just like you
I'm just tryna spread my wings, I've been on to better things
Don't you worry about me, I've been on to better things

I don't like how, you always left me feeling
Stressed out, and everything about you
Arguments that I would let you win
Always knew that I was innocent

Yeah, you…
Did a real good job of making me feel like the enemy
So I had to be

Why are you calling me from random numbers, I don't even know
It's why I ain't even been listening to you, I'm happier alone
Why are you wanting me to be hurting and to be just like you
I'm just tryna spread my wings, I've been on to better things

(On to better things)
Oooh… oooh…
On to better things
Oooh… oooh…

Yeah, you…
Did a real good job of making me feel like the enemy
So I had to leave

Why are you calling me from random numbers, I don't even know
It's why I ain't even been listening to you, I'm happier alone
Why are you wanting me to be hurting and to be just like you
I'm just tryna spread my wings, I've been on to better things
Don't you worry аbout me, I've been on to better thingѕ
