Lyrics:
There's nobody better than you
It took me a while till I knew
But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?
It just took me a while till I knew

Now I lay as I study a blank wall
Would you spare me your voice if I call?
'Cause you waited and watered my heart till it grew
You just grew a little smarter too

So I don't blame you if you want to
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be

There's some kind of burning inside me
It's kept me from falling apart
And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart
But it's kept me from falling apart

Now here I lay, as I wonder about you
Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?
'Cause I've waited and watered my heart till it grew
You can see how it's blossomed for you

And I don't blame you if you want to
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am

And I don't mean to make your heart blue
But could we be what we're meant to be?
I'm just about to beg you please, and
Then when you tell your friends, you can
Tell them what you saw in me, and
Not the way I used to be

'Cause there's nobody better than you

i cant believe mitski invented denmark only for this song ugh her mind.

[blksatrn]

the change from "how i turned out to be" to "the way i am" and then finally "used to be" OH SHES A LYRICAL GENIUS

[irisphillipscostara]

How does she expresses this feeling so well like fuck. The self-hatred and how you regret destroying the good perception that the one you love had.THIS IS A MASTERPIECE MITSKI DESERVES THE WORLD

[mitskilvr]

so happy mitski invented my country 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[kdogkreates]

THIS SONG IS LITERALLY ART. A MASTERPIECE. ITS LIKE LISTENING TO AN ANGEL. IVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS MITSKI IS A GODDESS WHO DESERVES THE ABSOLUTE MOST RECOGNITION

[aazeenn]

Greetings. I am a 84 years old young Grandma. My little granddaughter loves Mitski. I said why not and I have bought all your albums on vinyl🌹👵🏿

[peepoo]

AND I DONT MEAN TO MAKE UR HEART BLUE BUT COULD WE BE WHAT WE'RE MEANT TO BE IM JUST ABOUT TO BEG YOU PLEASE

[Tea.Rabbits]

Hey, did you guys know mitski invented the planet earth so that she could make her music?😁 say thank you

[Otra_Chica_de_Internet]

This song expresses wanting to start over with a person that you were toxic to so good. Like, I know it's selfish but please, maybe when you tell your friends you could tell them what you saw in me and not how I turned out to be?

[pillypoomis]

some of the lyrics hit too deep - my enduring beliefs of self-hatred. the entire first chorus ("i dont blame you if you want to bury me in your memory.") and the verse after it. the "would you just tell me what i'm meant to do?"

[Umitskyra]

“I’m not the girl I ought to be” will haunt me till I’m dead

[carmeng]

my lover fell in love first, i wasn't ready to settle down but they got me. over time they fell out of love more and more as i fell deeper. the love changed me, in not an entirely positive way. in the end, they resented me. I wish I could send them this song almost every day. I miss you, friend .

There's nobody better than you
It took me a while till I knew
But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?
It just took me a while till I knew

Now I lay as I study a blank wall
Would you spare me your voice if I call?
'Cause you waited and watered my heart till it grew
You just grew a little smarter too

So I don't blame you if you want to
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not how I turned out to be

There's some kind of burning inside me
It's kept me from falling apart
And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart
But it's kept me from falling apart

Now here I lay, as I wonder about you
Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?
'Cause I've waited and watered my heart till it grew
You can see how it's blossomed for you

And I don't blame you if you want to
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am

And I don't mean to make your heart blue
But could we be what we're meant to be?
I'm just about to beg you please
And then when you tell your friends
You can tell them what you saw in me
And not the way I used to be

'Cause there's nobody better than you

[jenniekim-vqie]

this song is like my achilles heel.. hurts too much when you're a lesbian and in love with your friend who happens to be danish

[keru]

I've known about mitski for as long as this song has been around, but somehow I've never seen this video? I love her so much wow

[rowanh]

the blend of dissonance and harmony is fantastic

[rileysmooth]

This is it. The song I will send to my current significant other when we part. I already know we will not be each other's forever, that we will both go on to see other people. But it's still amazing, and I'll savour it while it lasts.

[elw]

hits different when all ur friends hate u

[Kejsi]

The most underrated song of her. I wish i could listen to this again for the first time

[Eros_is_calling]

Why did they have to go. Why did they say it wasn't working. Why are they ignoring me. Why are they pretending our entire relationship never happened. Why are they making me feel like this. Why are they so happy without me. Why wasn't I better. Why wasn't I nicer. Why wasn't I. And the thing is, they are danish so this song hits
