Sabrina Claudio - Better Version Lyrics

Sabrina Claudio Lyrics

"Better Version"

I made the perfect you in my head
Cause physically you are the blueprint
But internally, god damn you're a mess
So to stay with you I had to imagine

That he is perfect
Anything I give him, he deserves it
Rarely does he ever come to see me
But anytime he does he makes it worth it
Like I earned it

God, I love him
And when I'm with you, I can't help myself but only think about him
I can't wait to see him again
My god, I miss him
And when I'm with you, I'm just thinking bout how much I wish it was him
I can't wait to see him again

More frequent visits would've been nice
But I don't want you knowing that there's somebody new
Sometimes the guilt will clog up my mind
But is it cheating if I love a better version of you

Cause he is perfect
Anything I give him, he deserves it
Rarely does he ever come to see me
But anytime he does he makes it worth it
Like I earned it

God, I love him
And when I'm with you, I can't help myself but only think about him
I can't wait to see him again
My god, I miss him
And when I'm with you, I'm just thinking bout how much I wish it was him
I can't wait to see him again

My god, I miss him
And when I'm with you, I'm just thinking bout how much I wish it was him
I can't wait to see him again

Sabrina Claudio explained Paper Magazine the meaning of "Better Version" in an interview on the 24th of March, 2022, "This song stems from the perspective of someone who's in a relationship with a person who is internally toxic. They choose to remain in this relationship because of those once-in-a-blue-moon glimpses of who their partner has the potential to be. It feels like this person is in a relationship with two completely different people and doesn't want to leave either of them at the risk of losing them both."

Regarding the music video for this track, Sabrina Claudio shared, "I loved the idea of me playing this character who's constantly watching her 'lovers' through LED screens. It's a battle between herself and her emotions as she analyzes them, trying to decipher which version of a partner is healthiest for her."
