He and I; it's something beautiful
But so dysfunctional it couldn't last
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 is taking so long
'Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful, it's hard to move on
Yeah, I'm better near to you

With you and I, it's something different
I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred; I am workin' oh-so hard to get
Back to who I used to be

He's disappearing, fading steadily
When I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me, please?

'Cause near to you, I am healing but it is 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
Yeah, 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 is 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 is taking so long
'Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful, it's hard to move on

Yeah, I'm better near to you
Yeah, I'm better near to you
