Better (unplugged)

Y'all better get your tissues

We got back, it's not the same
And I'm afraid to say it out loud
Then you replied, "Could I have done something?"
You've got some nerve asking me now
Though I'm in love with it, I will amputate
I care enough not to keep you around
Is it rough for you? I can't bear the way
You look at me when I let you down

Tell me, is this how it goes when you let someone know
That they gave it their best, but you still gotta roll?
Remember, I told you we would be closer
If we took some time further apart

Didn't it make you better?
Aren't we better now?
I know it made me better
Aren't we better now?

Been six months, it's my birthday
And it feels good to hear your voice
We took a ride through the hills
Replayed all of the reasons I made that choice
We go around the bend only to reveal
What we couldn't see before
We're better off as friends, baby, you can't stay
We both know we're not there anymore

Tell me, is this how it goes when you let someone know
That it's all for the best? We cut and we grow
Remember, I told you we would be closer
If we took some time further apart

Aren't we better now?
And I know it made me better (I know, I know)
Aren't we better now?

That we been around the club once or twice?
Breaking up in the middle of the night, no right (no right)
Yet somehow we fixed that (somehow we fixed that)
That we're talking when we used to fight?
Still bail me out when the money ain't right, oh no (oh no)
And now we're riding to the- (oh no)

All the things I wanna eat, baby
Start your fight, I could've waited all day or night
It could've been forever
Told you that I needed time to wait
There's a lot to think about while you wait (wait, wait, wait, wait)
Tell me one more time

Didn't I make you better?
Oh, didn't I make you better?
Oh, didn't I make you better?
Didn't know, didn't know
Didn't I make you better?
Makes me wanna say

Didn't it make you better?
Aren't we better now?
And I know it made me better
Aren't we better now?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Thank you
Um, that table over there, my dad is over there
And I will say that he planted a very deliberate seed
He planted the jazz seed, he knew what he was doing
Um, I know my range of just the types of things that I can get on
The types of things that I can do with music
Has so much to do with this seed that was planted
That just kind of didn't follow any particular rule
Um, and I'm so grateful for that, Dad
Thank you for that

Thank you, guys, once more for coming out
It's been such a pleasure
This gon' be my last tune
