"Better Off" lyrics

"Better Off"

I feel you inching closer
Acting like I never said it's over
Did you see the line
Before you crossed it
You think we're gonna be fine
Have you lost it

There's no space left for you next to me
So take your shit and leave
I had to cut you out just to breathe
This isn't temporary

I'll be just fine on my own
Maybe I'll be better off alone
Too many broken bones
From sticks and stones
You pretend you didn't throw

You say I'm spineless
Just a little mindless
Is it fine if
I return the kindness this time
I guess I'll find out
If I'm better off alone

Since you've been gone
Nothing's ever felt wrong
I don't think about you anymore
In all my sad songs
Coming clean never sounded
So tongue and cheek
While you were praying for plagues
I was finding my peace of mind

Are you feeling haunted
Your past will leave you at the bottom

I'll be just fine on my own
Maybe I'll be better off alone
Too many broken bones
From sticks and stones
You pretend you didn't throw

You say I'm spineless
Just a little mindless
Is it fine if
I return the kindness this time
I guess I'll find out
If I'm better off alone

You thought you had me
Wrapped around your finger
But I won't let you be
The one to drag me down
There's nothing here for you
And yet you linger
You really think that I'll still come around
Are you ready for the let down

I'll be just fine on my own
I'm better off alone
Too many broken bones
From sticks and stones
You pretend you didn't throw

You say I'm spineless
Just a little mindless
Is it fine if
I return the kindness this time
I guess I'll find out
If I'm better off alone
