Better For You by Essie Holt Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm writing you a letter in the hope I can say
All  the things that I couldn't put to your face
My  mind, my mind, my mind is a funny place

Tiptoeing 'round something you'd rather not say
There's a tendency to focus on the smallest mistakes
Now  I know, I know, I know we were miles away
'Cause  I know, I know

[Chorus ]
It's better for you, it's better for me
All  that you've waited for, wanted to have it all
What about you? What about us?
Oh it was beautiful, silently coming to

[Verse 2 ]
Little by little and a piece by piece
Just  a memory that lingers and a face to delete
Now you're sewn into my skin, my effigy
Leave me to release I am shut away
Take me from this place that you left me in
'Cause I know, I know

[Chorus]
It's better for you, it's better for me
All that you've waited for, wanted to have it all
What about you? What about us?
Oh it was beautiful, silently coming to

Better for you, it's better for me
What are you waiting for? Wanted to have it all
What about you? What about us?
Oh it was beautiful, silently coming to

[Bridge]
You went on denying
All this time in silence
Now we're strangers in an empty house
You went into hiding
If only I had noticed
Could have uncovered all you kept inside

[Chorus]
It's better for you, it's better for me
All that you've waited for, wanted to have it all
What about you? What about us?
Oh it was beautiful, silently coming to
[Outro]
Better for you, it's better for me
What about you? What about us?
