You made me hurt times ten, the pain was at eleven
Crossed my heart, hoped to die a million times
Thought I wouldn't come back, remember who I am
Look at me, I'm still standing
There, there was a time when I thought I had you
But you weren't even mine
Cried so much I forgot how to cry
But I gave it time, I gave it some time
Now I'm better than ever, better than ever
Better than ever, better than ever
Better than ever, better than ever
Better than ever
You made me hurt times ten, the pain was at eleven
Crossed my heart, hoped to die a million times
You made me what I am, I was me before that
Had to go deep for answers
There, there was a time when I thought I had you
But you weren't even mine
Cried so much I forgot how to cry
But I needed time, so I took that time
And now I'm better than ever, better than ever
Better than ever, better than ever
I'm better than ever, you changed the weather
But you made me treasure that we're not together
All of this pain, I went halfway insane
But I learned from the pain, put myself back together
I'm better than ever, not forever
But I'm better than ever, I'm better than ever
I'm better than ever
