Better Without You - Youth Brigade/Shawn Stern

I need to say my life has turned around today

I know I'm lucky to be here

Its been hard but I know I'm strong

I can survive

It's true the pain reminds me too

When we first met

I thought you were that one for me

The dream too good be to be true

We were young

We had no real experience

Love was still a wild ride

At first it was easy we had so much fun

Then when you beat me I knew you were scum

You'd scream and you'd hurt me

And treat me like dirt

And all the I'm sorrys never changed a thing

I'd never dreamed

You could treat someone like this

The broken bones convinced me quick

Of course you say

You had the right to act this way

Our love would triumph over all

Why must I prove that I was abused

The evidence is all over me

Perhaps it's true

That you were beaten and abused

The pain is all over you

It's never right to take it out

On someone else and pass it on

The lie of love is more abuse

But I'm much better without you

Finally rid of you

But I'm much better without you

Finally rid of you

But I'm much better without you

Finally rid of you

I'm better

So much better without you

The police say I shouldn't feel afraid

Today

Just testify to end it all

But they can't know the pain I feel

But they can't know the pain I feel

I fear for my life every day

The beating the rappings

The treatment like sh*t

Is it really so surprising she cut off his dick

I need to say my life has turned around today

I know I'm lucky to be here

Its been hard but I know I'm strong

I can survive

It's true the pain reminds me too

But I'm much better without you

Finally rid of you

But I'm much better without you

Finally rid of you

But I'm much better without you

Finally rid of you

I'm better

So much better without you

Finally rid of you

I'm better

So much better without you

Finally rid of you

Cause I'm so much

So much better without you

When I'm better better

So much better without you

Finally rid of you

When I'm so much better without you

Finally rid of you
