Better Off
Who's been surrounding you darling?
Who's made you ring the alarms?
Who's got you breaking your promise
And made you feel less than you are?
I'm here to tell you it's over
I'll be your hero this time
But only if you can assure that
I'll be the one on your mind
Please, I don't really wanna know about your history
Filled with stories about all the ways you used to be
With somebody you was lovin' if it wasn't me (ooh oh)
We should just leave it all behind and get to livin' free
Starting over isn't easy baby I agree
But this game of love ain't ever had no guarantees
(Woah)
So when you tired of hiding, tired of running away
Oh and you tired of fighting just know I'm willing to wait for you
I will stay for you
Everyday I'd choose to save this love from self destruction
(Guess you gotta learn the hard way
You can shine and still be lonely in your dark days
You just better off ignoring what they all say
You just better off, you just better off
Did it on your own you don't need a hand out
Standing all alone cuz you meant to stand out
Now you never home, working til you cash out
Now you better off, yea you better off)
Why are you fighting your feelings?
Who made you feel so afraid?
Heart's in the process of healing debts from the karma you've paid
Good weed and wine are your weakness
Turn ups ain't really your scene
But I'm what you want it's no secret
There ain't no denying these things
She's got the type of beauty that I know I've never seen
Got me feeling like I'm trippin' out on LSD
Yea I swear to God you made me wanna take a knee (Ooh oh)
Three different times I had to make sure that I wasn't sleep
Waking up and hoping that it wasn't all a dream
Yea I'm hoping that you know exactly what I mean, oh
Yea, and when you tired of hiding
Tired of running away, oh
And you tired of fighting just know that I'm willing to wait for you
I will stay for you, everyday I'd choose to save us from self destruction
Who's made you ring the alarms?
Who's got you breaking your promise
And made you feel less than you are?
I'm here to tell you it's over
I'll be your hero this time
But only if you can assure that
I'll be the one on your mind
Please, I don't really wanna know about your history
