[Verse 1]
She doesn't talk much anymore
She said she's fine, but I know she's lying
And he's causing her harm
'Cause I see it in her eyes
And I see it on her arms
But now she's in a better place
That's what her mama says

[Verse 2]
Well, it got me thinking and wondering
How the hell could she even love a poor excuse of a man?
Every day used to start a fight
She said she was fine, but everyone could see the fright
She's not the same girl that I had raised
Shut in, all alone, never happy, on sorrow she grazed

[Chorus]
But now she's in a better place
That's what her daddy says
She's in a better place
Yeah, she's in a better place
She finally left him 'cause he put his hands on her
In the wrong way too many times
And now she's in a better place because of him

[Verse 3]
Then on a clear summer day
They found his body hundreds of miles away
Battered and beaten, torn and burned
Cops said it looked like foul play
There won't be a warrant to serve
'Cause the bastard got what he deserved

[Chorus]
She's in a better place
Now that she's here in my arms
She knows she's safe
Now that she's here in my arms
Now I see her smiling face
'Cause she's safe right here in my arms

[Verse 4]
She was so afraid of living anymore
Because that man hurt her beyond what she bore
But now she laughs and smiles
The scars that could be seen from miles
Are now faded and almost forgotten
Her mother now says

[Verse 5]
She's in a better place
Now that you showed her what a man is supposed to do
And to keep her safe, you did what you had to do
Her father sees her daughter happy again
Looks at her and nods with approval, saying
She's in a better place
Now you did the right thing
I see my daughter standing there happy once again

[Chorus]
She's in a better place
Now that she's here in my arms
She knows she's safe
Now that she's here in my arms
She's in a better place
Now that she's here in my arms
She knows she's safe
Now that she's here in my arms

[Bridge / Dialogue]
She looks up at my face and puts my hair in place
She gives a large smile and says

[Female vocal]
I'm now in a better place
Right here in your arms
I'm now in a better place
Now that the pain is gone

[Male vocal]
And I don't feel so afraid
Of every noise I hear
I'm in a better place lying with you
In your arms right here

[Outro]
She's in a better place
She's in a better place now
A better place
