"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").

[edit] Video
The music video for the song starts with the band playing in a dark room. Then goes to scenes of a guy and girl. A man outside pulls up outside, and the boy gets up, and walk outside to the man. They exchange money and drugs. The next scene is of him looking at pictures of them together. He takes a knife and breaks a light bulb, pours the drugs into it, and puts it onto the oven. Then he falls back, grabbing his arm, suggesting the were harmful to his body, and he's having bad reaction. The girls walks in, and he begins to throw things at her. The lights of the room the band was in are turned on and it is revealed to be a church. There is a priest and behind him are two people in back. One rushes forward to the casket were the boy is laying, and puts something in his hand.
