Storm Cleared

Verse 1

Old pickup smoking out the springtime air

She left her ring on the dashboard, didn't care

Quiet kitchen, coffee's gone cold

I lost her voice but found my soul

New boots by the door, I never wore 'em before

Clouds rolled, sun followed my steps for miles

Empty chair at my table, felt strange for a while

Chorus

I’m better, better without her

Storm cleared since she drove away

I’m lighter, freer, untethered

I wake up and it’s a brand-new day

Don't miss the love that left me hollow

Don’t chase the shadow down that old road

I'm better, better without her

That’s the truth I finally know

Post-Chorus

Better, better without her

Better, better without her

Verse 2

Her perfume faded off my flannel sleeve

No more heartaches, just the air I breathe

Nights got quiet, peace fell slow

Memories moved out, I watched 'em go

She took her picture from the counter then slammed the door

Whatever hurt lingers, not holding me no more

Chorus

I’m better, better without her

Storm cleared since she drove away

I’m lighter, freer, untethered

I wake up and it’s a brand-new day

Don't miss the love that left me hollow

Don’t chase the shadow down that old road

I'm better, better without her

That’s the truth I finally know

Post-Chorus

Better, better without her

Better, better without her

Bridge

Maybe I needed the rain

Maybe I needed the pain

Maybe leaving was my saving grace

Chorus

I’m better, better without her

Storm cleared since she drove away

I’m lighter, freer, untethered

I wake up and it’s a brand-new day

Don't miss the love that left me hollow

Don’t chase the shadow down that old road

I'm better, better without her

That’s the truth I finally know

Outro

Better, better without her

Finally moving on

Better, better without her

That old hurt—finally gone
