Better Than You Lyrics

I won't let myself forget, or forgive
What's frozen in time
That I cannot outlive
The light in me
Is getting brighter

A button to reset my mind please
Everything that makes me incomplete
Sometimes to create, one must first destroy
Time to rebuild what I lost as a little boy

I am better than you
I am walking away
I'm already gone
I am better than you
Burn the memories inside
I'm already gone

I won't let myself become the victim of
The self-contempt you're slowly dying from
And the light in me
Is getting brighter

I'll be watching your rise and fall
I know what you're capable of
Persistent pain is no excuse
To twist the truth

I am better than you
I am walking away
I'm already gone
I am better than you
Burn the memories inside
I'm already gone

I will be watching your rise and fall
Because I know what you're capable of

I will be watching (watching)
Your rise and fall (fall)
Because I know what you're capable of

I am better than you
I am walking away
I'm already gone
I am better than you
Burn the memories inside
I'm already gone

I won't let myself forget, or forgive
What's frozen in time
That I cannot outlive
The light in me
Is getting brighter

A button to reset my mind please
Everything that makes me incomplete
Sometimes to create, one must first destroy
Time to rebuild what I lost as a little boy

I am better than you
I am walking away
I'm already gone
I am better than you
Burn the memories inside
I'm already gone

I won't let myself become the victim of
The self-contempt you're slowly dying from
And the light in me
Is getting brighter

I'll be watching your rise and fall
I know what you're capable of
Persistent pain is no excuse
To twist the truth

I am better than you
I am walking away
I'm already gone
I am better than you
Burn the memories inside
I'm already gone

I will be watching your rise and fall
Because I know what you're capable of

I will be watching (watching)
Your rise and fall (fall)
Because I know what you're capable of

I am better than you
I am walking away
I'm already gone
I am better than you
Burn the memories inside
I'm already gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me this is about taking the power back after someone has caused you suffering in your past.
