Better Off Lyrics

I think about how happy I am quite often

My mascara stays on my eyes

I'm gaining weight, my hands don't shake, but to me it's no surprise

Why the world feels so much lighter

I don't fall asleep thinking about you anymore

I finally have my own life to live

Right next to my coat's where I hung up my habits

I smile and then I forgive

And oh, I'm loving life these days But oh, the cause is so forlorn

My heart doesn't drop when I hear your name

A rose can't grow without thorns

I wish all the time I was my best with you

I could be by your side and it'd make me feel strong

But now I've been on both sides and I know it can't be done

We're not friends, I was a mess And apart's where we belong

I wish I wasn't better off without you

I wish I wasn't better off without you

Oh, how it pleases me to think you notice

All the work I've put into myself

My smile would be burned in your mind

Some twisted revenge I've tried to let go

And I try to be proud but my actions are low

You wanted to stay but I had to go

Oh, I'm loving life these days

But oh, the cause is so forlorn

I'll watch your green light from across the bay

A rose can't grow without thorns

I wish all the time I was my best with you

I could be by your side and it'd make me feel strong

But now I've been on both sides and I know it can't be done

We're not friends, I was a mess And apart's where we belong

I hate I was right, wish I was wrong this time

I miss my best friend, but I always knew

Now the sky's feeling bluer

and the world is looking sweet

And I wish I wasn't better off without you

I wish I wasn't better off without you
