Hey Violet - Better By Myself

Copied!

{Intro}
1, 2, 3

{Verse 1}
There may be something in the water
Over here in California's
Got me feeling like I'm better off alone
Maybe it's the way you used me
Watered down my love, abused me
And you'd always criticize me on the phone

{Refrain}
Ooh, ah

{Verse 2}
Would you kill me if I told you
That I never wanna speak to you
'Cause when I'm on my own, I feel alive
And there's nothing wrong with crying
But my empathy is dying
'Cause we never were that good, we'd always fight

{Pre-Chorus}
I'm better by myself (Self)
I'm better when there's no you in my life

{Chorus}
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

{Verse 3}
Everything you do just wears me down
It's getting old, I'm turned around
It feels like you're just wasting me away
When you choose to terrorize me
Any confidence inside me dies
You suffocate me with the things you say

{Pre-Chorus}
I'm better by myself (Self)
I'm better when there's no you in my life
You're no good for my health (Health)
You're no good for my troubled state of mind

{Chorus}
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

{Bridge}
Woo
Ooh, ah

{Chorus}
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself

edit bio

Hey Violet is an American alternative pop band from Los Angeles, California, consisting of Rena Lovelis (bass/lead vocals), Nia Lovelis (drums/vocals), and Casey Moreta (lead guitar).

The band originally began as an all-female hard rock band named Cherri Bomb consisting of the Lovelis sisters, Miranda Miller, and Julia Pierce. Pierce later left the band due to creative differences, although she claimed she did not leave the bang willingly. They released one album as Cherri Bomb, 2012’s This Is The End Of Control.

Guitarist Casey Moreta filled in for Pierce until being asked to join the band live in concert by the remaining members of Cherri Bomb.

Two years later, in February 2015 the band announced their name had changed to “Hey Violet” and later released the single “This Is Why”. They then signed with 5 Second’s of Summer’s label Hi or Hey Records, in partnership with Capitol Records and confirmed the release of their debut EP as Hey Violet: “I Can Feel It”.

They supported 5SOS on their tour in 2014-2015, and a year later released the “Brand New Moves" EP. Whilst on tour with 5SOS again in 2016, Hey Violet announced that lead singer and bassist Rena would be stepping down from her bass-guitar commitments to focus on vocals, and introduced Ian Shipp to play bass on tour, and later became the fifth member of the band. However, on April, 16th, 2019, Rena announced the departure of Shipp on Twitter due to sexual allegations made against him.

Several singles were released from 2016-2017 in anticipation for their 2017 debut, including the Billboard charting “Guys My Age”, and “Break My Heart”. The album, From The Outside, was released in June.

Guitarist & Keyboardist Miranda Miller departed peacefully with the band in September 2017, claiming that “tour was grueling.”
