Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where’d the love go?
Where’s the passion? Oh
Why’s it feel like I’m better off alone? Whoa
Say it’s my fault that we’re broken

[Pre-Chorus]
You know the truth, babe
What should I do, babe?
I wanted you but I don’t know what to do, babe
I’m not gon’ lose any sleep tryna know where you are
I’m doing just fine without you in my life at all

[Chorus]
I’m doing better without you, you, you, you
I got nothing left for you, you, you, you
Thought I was trippin’ on you, you, you, you
I'm so much better without you, you, you, you
With you, with you, oh without you

[Verse 2]
Where did we go from here
Did we throw it all away?
Guess the end is finally near
There's nothing left to say
You cut me open, now we are broken
My heart is frozen since we haven’t spoken

[Pre-Chorus]
You know the truth, babe
What should I do, babe?
I wanted you but I just don’t know what to do, babe
I’m not gon’ lose any sleep tryna know where you are (Are)
I’m doing just fine without you in my life at all (At all)

[Chorus]
I’m doing better without you, you, you, you
I got nothing left for you, you, you, you
Thought I was trippin’ on you, you, you, you
I'm so much better without you, you, you, you
With you, with you, oh without you

[Bridge]
When I wake up in the morning and you’re not right there (Right there)
Wishing that I never put your flight back (Flight back)
And I sent you a text, girl would you write back? (Write back)
Left you a voicemail, yeah ‘cause you like that
It’s all good and it’s all g (It’s all g)
‘Cause I got more time just to figure out me
In the meantime, girls be around me
And I was so lost, until you found me
I’m doing better without you, you, you, you, you
I’m doing better without you, you, you

[Chorus]
I’m doing better without you, you, you, you (So much better)
I got nothing left for you, you, you, you (Whoa)
Thought I was trippin’ on you, you, you, you (Trippin’ on you, trippin’ on you, trippin’ on you)
I'm so much better without you, you, you, you (Trippin’ on you, trippin’ on you)
With you, with you
(What would the music be without Soundz)
Oh without you
