Better Off Lyrics

I saw a baby once

She was a happy one

A really pretty one

She was a silly one

So kind and giving and

Oh so special

A writer and a singer with a soft and curvy figure

Loving mother whos a model, loving father whos a fixer

3 brothers and a dog

She thought she had it all

Until she met me

I crept into her head

I told her that she was

Better off dead, she'd be better off

Before she went to bed

I told her that she was

Better off dead, she'd be better off

I told her that she wasn't like her brothers

She'd never be as pretty as her mother

Ugly, untalented

I told her that she was

Better off dead, she'd be better off

And then…

She grew the fuck up

Smiling through her pain

Bossed up on the run

From those heavy chains

Stoney in her blood

Stoney in her veins

I tried to break her but I never thought she'd take it there

I knew she'd fake it but I never thought she'd make it there

Drowning out my voice

Standing naked there

In the mirror finally facing what she hated there

I knew that it would take some time to finish what i started

So i introduced her to a man to leave her broken hearted

I found her boyfriend, made it her ex-friend

Bullied in high school, and then her next friend

And when they left her,

She said fuck all them

Cause now she sees me

And now I'm harmless

I crept into her head

I told her that she was

Better off dead, better off

(Why can't she hear me when i scream?)

Before she went to bed

I told her that she was

Better off dead, she'd be better off

(Why aren't you listening to me?)

When you get lost in the dark

You gon' call me

when you abandon in your heart

I'll come crawling

And every day that you breathe

Im gonna wait here for ya

Cause I'm the drug that you need

I know your feenin' for me

You'll never make it alone

I crept into her head

I told her that she was better off dead

She'd be better off

Before she went to bed

I told her that she was better off dead

She'd be better off
