He and I, it's somethin' beautiful   But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last   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, yeah      Near to you, I am healin'   But it is takin' so long   ?Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful   It's hard to move on   Yeah, I'm better near to you      Well, you and I, it's somethin' different   And I'm enjoyin' it as cautiously   I'm battle scarred, I am workin' oh so hard   To get back to who I used to be      He's disappearin'   Fadin' steadily   When I'm so close to bein' yours   Won't you stay with me, please?      ?Cause near to you, I am healin'   But it is takin' so long   ?Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful   It's hard to move on   Yet I'm better near to you   Yeah, 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 healin'   But it?s takin' so long   Though he's gone and you are wonderful   It's hard to move on      Near to you, I am healin'   But it?s takin' so long   ?Cause though he's gone and you are wonderful   It's hard to move on   Yeah, I'm better near to you   Yeah, I'm better near to you
