Better Him Than Me
Guess you were lonely at the time
'Cause you phoned me every night
Just to make sure I'm alive
Only your lips and casket wine
Kept me off olanzapine
Stilled these trembling hands of mine
If things were different don't mean much
There were lines we couldn't cross
Minds I couldn't trust
Oh, so-and-so said such and such
That gets thrown around too much
Where the hell does that leave us?
As I fall back and watch you fall in love
With just someone or other who ain't sharp enough
To know how to love you, covet you quite like you need
Still, better him than me
Better him than me
You disappear sometimes for weeks
Then I call you up to speak
You pretend to fall asleep
Neglect can rust respect and trust
Collecting dust like broke antiques
Our love grew weary then grew weak
As I drift off, I see you drifting away
With some moustache who ain't worth the time that it takes
To tell you I'm sorry, I wonder how sorry I'll be
Still, better him than me
Better him than me
Better him than me
Better him than me
And as I look back with hindsight, you're looking the same
A face flushed with fury and a stare of disdain
Oh, if you really knew me, you knew what I'd turn out to be
Still, you're better off with him than me
Better him than me
'Cause you phoned me every night
Just to make sure I'm alive
Only your lips and casket wine
Kept me off olanzapine
Stilled these trembling hands of mine
If things were different don't mean much
There were lines we couldn't cross
Minds I couldn't trust
Oh, so-and-so said such and such
That gets thrown around too much
Where the hell does that leave us?
As I fall back and watch you fall in love
With just someone or other who ain't sharp enough
To know how to love you, covet you quite like you need
Still, better him than me
Better him than me
You disappear sometimes for weeks
Then I call you up to speak
You pretend to fall asleep
Neglect can rust respect and trust
Collecting dust like broke antiques
Our love grew weary then grew weak
As I drift off, I see you drifting away
With some moustache who ain't worth the time that it takes
To tell you I'm sorry, I wonder how sorry I'll be
Still, better him than me
Better him than me
Better him than me
Better him than me
And as I look back with hindsight, you're looking the same
A face flushed with fury and a stare of disdain
Oh, if you really knew me, you knew what I'd turn out to be
Still, you're better off with him than me
Better him than me
