“I know I'm probably better off all alone
Than needing a man who could change his mind at any given minute
And it's always on your terms, I'm hanging on every careless word
Hoping it might turn sweet again like it was in the beginning

But your jealousy, I can hear it now
You're talking down to me like I'll always be around
You push my love away like it's some kind of loaded gun
Boy, you never thought I'd run”
Listen:
Better Man
