"Better Off" lyrics

"Better Off"

I painted every God damn wall
I took down the picture of us
Standing hand in hand
In New York last fall
I'm rearranging memories
Like you were never there at all
'Cause you were never really there at all

I'm taking my life back step by step
Someday I guess I'll forget
To call your name out when I'm alone at home
I just haven't got there yet
But I know I'll be fine
Maybe one day at a time

Oh I, don't wanna miss too much
Just because I'm missing you
Oh I, maybe I miss your touch
But baby, I'm better off
I'm out from under your stormy weather
Ooh, life's getting better

I'm loving my brand new walls
And these days I'm sleeping diagonal
I'm gonna watch The Golden Girls
Taking back my world
But I won't take your call
I'm doing better than fine
And I ain't looking to rewind

Oh I, don't wanna miss too much
Just because I'm missing you
Oh I, maybe I miss your touch
But baby, I'm better off
I'm out from under your stormy weather
Ooh, life's getting better

No more rain coming down on me
I'm getting rid of my umbrella
I'm putting on sunscreen

Oh I, ain't gonna miss too much
'Cause I ain't missing you no more
Oh I, used to miss your touch
Now I know I'm better off
I'm out from under your stormy weather
Ooh, life's getting better
