Better Off This Way

(album: What Separates Me From You - 2010)

I wonder if you'll notice
If they lock me up and throw away the key
Gotta be open minded
You've got a lot to learn in the ways of me
You've always got to say something
I'm none of your concern but you won't listen at all
You know I'd rather say nothing
And just be proud of myself I'm tearing down these walls.

When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I found a better way
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way

Wo-oh [x2]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [x2]

You gotta keep this coming
Tell me like you know it but you don't know nothing, your call.
We can settle this like gentlemen
Or meet me at the back to end it all and start again.
My whole life's been waiting
Ever since I can remember been anticipating your fall
And God let it be a long one
I can't let go of my life till I know you're done.

When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I found a better way
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way

Wo-oh [x2]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [x2]

You want it, you got it
You've always been such a waste of time
You want it, you got it
A friend of yours is no friend of mine
You want it, you got it
When will you act your age
You want it, you got it
You're the reason things have to change

Wo-oh [x2]
You're the reason things have to change
Wo-oh [x2]

When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away
When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay
It's all over, I found a better way
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way

Wo-oh [x2]
I'm better off this way
Wo-oh [x2]
I'm better off this way
