Hinder - Better Than Me Music Video and Lyrics

Better Than Me by Hinder, Music Video and Lyrics

“Better Than Me” is the fourth single released from Hinder’s debut album, Extreme Behavior.

The song is sung from the point of view of a man whose partner has left him. The lyrics deal with the man’s regret of mistreating his lover, (”I think you can do much better than me”) and his expression of sadness that they are no longer a couple. (”I really miss your hair in my face, and the way your innocence tastes”).

Hinder - Better Than Me lyrics

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won’t miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there’s one memory I don’t want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won’t miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

The bed I’m lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would’ve said it’s over
And I can’t pretend… I won’t think about you when I’m older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can’t be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)
