[Verse 1]
CauGght in the fDever
Caught in the stoArm
Beating down on us now
LosiGng a battDle
Losing it aAll
Round and round, don't know how
[Pre-Chorus]
I doGn't feel like wasBmting your time
I doAn't wanna hurt anybody
I doGn't feel like lettiBmng you go
But Ayou're better off alone
[Chorus]
I hGope you're betDter
HeavAen knows I lBmet you doAwn
No Gmore togetDher
SilAver lining iBmn the clouAds
I hGope you're beDtterA  
[Verse 2]
ItG's time to movDe on
Forget all the wroAng
Now that we both can see
AlGl that we sDaid
Confused in our hAeads
Left us so empty
[Pre-Chorus]
I dGon't feel like wastBming your time
I doAn't wanna hurt anybody
I doGn't feel like letBmting you go
But Ayou're better off alone
[Chorus]
I hGope you're betDter
HeavAen knows I leBmt you dAown
No Gmore togetDher
SilAver lining iBmn the cloAuds
And Gwhen the light breaks
TheEmre's nothing left to take
GiviBmng us closure so wAe can start over
I hoGpe you're beDtterA  
[Bridge]
We Gwere lost iAn the fGire
Covered up, nowhere to Bmrun
Blaming no onAe
'Cause I'm not the one
[Chorus] (quiet)
I hGope you're beDtter
HeaveAn knows I lBmet you doAwn
No mGore togDether
SilvAer lining iBmn the clouAds
[Chorus]
I hGope you're betDter
HeavAen knows I leBmt you dAown
No Gmore togetDher
SilAver lining iBmn the cloAuds
And Gwhen the light breaks
TheEmre's nothing left to take
GiviBmng us closure so wAe can start over
I hoGpe you're beDtterA
