Better Off

(album: We'll Be Alright - 2018)

I watch the smoke of your cigarette twirl around your fingers
Like the way that you have me and it disappears like I do

I don't talk, I've been lost
I stand around just to get a lie
From those eyes that give love
But, when I'm gone, you'll be better off
I don't talk, I've been lost
I stand around just to get a lie
From those eyes that give love
But, when I'm gone, you'll be better off

I have trouble staying afloat
All of these problems, I ain't got good ways to cope
Start feeling like I'll be better off when it's all done
But, anything you want, I get it on the low
And, on the low, the only thing that keeps me going
I can just stay right here with you, I'm not alone

I watch the smoke of your cigarette twirl around your fingers
Like the way that you have me and it disappears like I do

I don't talk, I've been lost
I stand around just to get a lie
From those eyes that give love
But, when I'm gone, you'll be better off
I don't talk, I've been lost
I stand around just to get a lie
From those eyes that give love
But, when I'm gone, you'll be better off

When I'm gone, you'll be better off
Long life, [?]
But I stand in line, just to hear you lie to me
And I ride through the abyss, just to steal one single kiss
So baby tell me what you want, 'cause you know I'm with the shit

I don't talk, I've been lost
I stand around just to get a lie
From those eyes that give love
But, when I'm gone, you'll be better off
I don't talk, I've been lost
I stand around just to get a lie
From those eyes that give love
But, when I'm gone, you'll be better off

I watch the smoke of your cigarette twirl around your fingers
Like the way that you have me and it disappears like I do
