He and I had something beautiful But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last I 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 Near to you, I am healing But it's taking so long 'Cause though he's gone And you are wonderful It's hard to move on Yet, I'm better near to you. You and I have something different And I'm enjoying it cautiously I'm battle scarred, But I am working oh so hard To get back to who I used to be He's disappearing, fading steadily Well, I'm so close to being yours, Won't you stay with me, please Near to you, I am healing But it's taking so long 'Cause though he's gone And you are wonderful It's hard to move on Yet, 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 healing But it's taking so long 'Cause though he's gone And you are wonderful It's hard to move on Yet, I'm better near to you
