He and I, had somethin' 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, yeah

Near to you, I am healin'

But it's taking so long

'Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful

Its hard to move on

Yeah, I'm better near to you

Well, you and I, it's something' different

And I'm enjoyin' it as cautiously

I'm battle scarred, I am workin' oh so hard

To get back to who I used to be

He's disappearin'

Fadin' steadily

When I'm so close to bein' yours

Won't you stay with me please

'Cause near to you, I am healin'

But it's taking so long

'Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful

Its 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 healin'

But it's takin' so long

Thought he's gone and you are wonderful

It's hard to move on

'Cause near to you, I am healin'

But it's taking so long

'Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful

Its hard to move on

Yeah, I'm better near to you

Yeah, I'm better near to you
