Lyrics

Better Off

[Intro]

Hey

Hey

[Verse 1]

Why do I still want to answer

Every time you call

I've got to try to cut out this cancer

Before it gets too strong

[Chorus]

I'm better off

Better off without you

I'm better off

Better off without you

I never thought that you'd lie to me the way you do

I'm better off

Better off without you

[Post-Chorus]

Hey

[Verse 2]

Killing it will end the torture

But never stop the pain

What kind of idiot makes a fortune

Just to piss it all away

[Chorus]

I'm better off

Better off without you

I'm better off

Better off without you

I never thought that you'd lie to me the way you do

I'm better off

Better off without you

[Bridge]

It's hard to forgive when you can't forget

And now somehow I despise the day that we met

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

I never thought that you'd lie to me the way you do

I used to think it would end up being me and you

I never thought I'd ever leave you for someone new

I'm better off

Better off without you

I'm better off

Better off without you

Hey

Better off without you

Hey
