"Better Off By Myself" lyrics

The sun rose without you
You weren't home to meet it, again
You keep asking for slack
But my rope just came to an end

If this is all you can offer
Keep your toothbrush and glass on some other shelf
'Cause still I can do better
I'm much better off by myself

Promises, promises
That's all that I get from you
And each morning mirror
Shows more lines of pain you put me through

Too many tears in my coffee
Ain't too good for my health
So 'til I can do better
I'm much better off by myself

A-sleeping alone is better than no sleep at all
And any way of walking is better than the way you made me crawl

You said you loved me
Oh, but that's not the feeling I felt
So 'til I can do better
I'm much better off by myself

'Til I can do better
I'm much better off by myself
