verse 1
D E F#m
I'm just not sure my heart is working

And yours is beating double time

Deep down you know I ain't even worth it

It's not enough, babe, all I do is make you cry

Like ooh-woah, ooh-woah

I know I do this every time
D E F#m
Like ooh-woah, I know

That I just got to say what's on my mind
[Refrão]Chorus

You deserve better, better, better than me
F#m
Might be what you want, but I'm not what you need

You're better, better than you even realize

You deserve better, better, better than me
F#m
Might be what you want, but I want you to see

You're better off without me in your life

And I hope you'll find somebody else

But you deserve better, better, better, better
