Lyrics

I Was Better Off

From my mouth Now more and more everyday Words that have nothing to say Well, I'll find something someday I thought that I was better off I was wrong I am where I don't belong In a flash I am gone, to return when the sun shines again Oh, my God Words that seem so out of place I wish you'd get out of my face Well, I'll find something someday I thought that I was better off I was wrong I am where I don't belong In a flash I am gone, to return when the sun shines again I thought that I was better off I was wrong I am where I don't belong In a flash I am gone, to return when the sun shines again To return when the sun shines again
