Trousdale - Better Off Lyrics

Trousdale Lyrics

"Better Off"

You didn't see the lightning
But I heard the thunder
You say we're not sinking
We're already under
You hold me with empty arms
Always close yet far
I look in your eyes
And I can't help but wonder

What if I'm better off
Telling the truth
Maybe I never was
Good for you
What if this back and forth
Shouldn't last
Maybe I'm
Better off, Better off, better off
Leaving the
Light off, light off, light off

I'm already leaving
Before we sit down
The table between us
Is bigger somehow
We had a hungry hope
Now you can't let go
There's nothing to find here
That hasn't been found

Maybe I'm better off telling the truth
Maybe I never was good for you
What if this back and forth
Shouldn't last
Maybe I'm
Better off, better off, better off
Leaving the
Light off, light off, light off
Better off, better off, better off
Leaving the
Light off, light off, light off

We had a hungry hope
Now you can't let go
All these excuses
Scared to be losing
Something that's already gone

Better off telling the truth
Never was good for you
What if this back and forth
Shouldn't last
What if I'm better off telling the truth
Maybe I never was good for you
What if this back and forth
Wouldn't go on

Better off, better off, better off
Leaving the
Light off, light off, light off
Better off, better off, better off
Leaving the
Light off, light off, light off
