[Intro]
(I had to find out in the worst way)

[Verse 1]
Heard through a friend that it hurts you to see me doin' well, without you
I can't believe you go and make this all about you, this isn't about you
I heard you lengthened out your hair and shortened up your name
That's so you
Now I wonder if I even recognize you face again (again, again)

[Pre-Chorus]
I found my truth was in the downfall
Paint a picture grateful
Pain is something graceful, yeah
I took a step back for a clear view
In a way I want to thank you

[Chorus]
I had to find out in the worst way
I can make it out of anything
'Cause even on the first day, you were gone
Emotional truth, I tried everything to get back to you
But nothing would change
That I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, I'm better off this way
(Yeah, I'm better off this way)

[Verse 2]
But now we are standing in the same room, not saying one word
Acting like we don't know each other anymore, we don't know each other anymore
I really want you to know that I don't hate you
I hope you know that I really wish you the best
But the time has come to move on with my life
So goodbye old friend

[Chorus]
I had to find out in the worst way
I can make it out of anything
'Cause even on the first day, you were gone
Emotional truth, I tried everything to get back to you
But nothing would change
That I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, I'm better off this way
Yeah, I'm better off this way

[Pre-Chorus]
I found my truth was in the downfall
Paint a picture grateful
Pain is something graceful, yeah
I took a step back for a clear view
In a way, I want to thank you

[Chorus]
I had to find out in the worst way
I can make it out of anything
'Cause even on the first day, you were gone
Emotional truth, I tried everything to get back to you
But nothing would change
That I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, I'm better off this way
Yeah, I'm better off this way
