lyrics

"I'm better off without you," is the pretty phrase I play with when you tell me you don't love me and you've taken all my happiness away, away
And suddenly I'm lonely, but I'll never let you see because I don't want you to know that you were everything to me, to me
And I'll take my chances on my own
If I can't be alone with you, then I'll just be alone
And tell and tell and tell myself I'm better off without you
I'm better off without you
I'm better off without you
I'm better off without your arms around me
Without your light about me
And life is good again
I tell myself it's never been so wonderful as now that you are gone
And now that I can see behind your face
And see in space that up or down- there's no such place
Such love has never been more wrong, more wrong
And I feel better now that I can see
Clearly, I know better now than to fall in love so deep
In love so deep
Tell myself it will all be alright
I tell myself it will be just fine
And yell and yell and tell myself
I'm better off without you
I'm better off without you
I'm better off without you
I'm better off without you
