The Better Half Of Me

Katy Perry · Other Songs - Katy Perry

I took advantage of you a stepping stone to my pedestal

When you had enough of it

I said fine good luck replacing this

Cause I seem strong and independent self sufficient, confident

and I'm like mercury rising to the top so selfishly



The better half of me was you

I'm like a hive without a bee without you

I gotta find ya gotta, remind ya

That two is better than one



So please accept my apology cause I'm feeling

like a branch without its tree

It took me a fall to really see

that your the catch I wanna keep



'Cause I get weak thinking about you

living without you life has no value

Baby come back to me

'Cause you're the only missing piece



'Cause the better half of me was you

I'm like the hive without its bee without you

I gotta find ya, gotta remind ya

That two is better than one



Ooh it took a little earthquake

To appreciate the stability you've given me

So consistently



The better half of me was you

I'm like a bird without its wings without you

I gotta find ya, gotta remind ya

That two is stronger than one



The better half of me, oh its you

I'm like a heart without its beat without you

I gotta find ya, gotta remind ya

I promise you that I'm gotta try to

I'm gonna love ya cause two is better than one
