lyrics

Better Off
(Maddox, Newhook, Reid)

Oh my love,
I know things have been better
Nothing can last forever
That’s why I’m writing this letter

Oh my love.
Don’t take this as a confession
A vague misrepresentation
Of all my best intentions

I’ve got a bird’s eye view
Of what’s happening to you
And it breaks my heart to say
We’re better off this way

Oh my love,
My heart is set on forgetting
I know that this might be upsetting
But this isn’t a time for regretting

Oh my love,
That part of our story is told
I know that I come across cold
These feelings and words I withhold

I’ve got a bird’s eye view
Of what’s happening to you
And it breaks my heart to say
We’re better off this way

Thinking of you
Is all I can do
Missing you more every day
We’re better off this way

Oh my love,
You say that you’ll never give up
You’ll always hold on to my love
But you know that it’s never enough

I’ve got a bird’s eye view
Of what’s happening to you
And it breaks my heart to say
We’re better off this way

Thinking of you
Is all I can do
Missing you more every day
We’re better off this way

Believe me when I say
We’re better off this way
Better off this way
