Better Off
You were never good for me
You propped me up just like a trophy
For your friends to see
Did you enjoy the fame and glory
Should've known that we weren't meant to last when
You tossed me out just like a dirty bath mat
And I was lost for so long when I shouldn't have
Been at all
It was my fault
I thought I needed you like a drug
And I couldn't live without your love
But it was you who wasn't good enough for me
I see it clearly now
You had me wrapped around your thumb
So tight that everything went numb
How could I ever have been so dumb
'Cause now I'm better off without
You were all that I could see
I was stuck behind a glass so rosy
You burned me to the third degree
I was caught in your flames there was no escaping
You threw me out just like a dirty trash can
Left me wondering what the hell just happened
Went from the only one to just a has-been
I should've known
I was worth gold
I thought I needed you like a drug
And I couldn't live without your love
But it was you who wasn't good enough for me
I see it clearly now
You had me wrapped around your thumb
So tight that everything went numb
How could I ever have been so dumb
'Cause now I'm better off without
I don't need you anymore
I'm better off on my own
I don't need you anymore
I'm better off on my own
You propped me up just like a trophy
For your friends to see
Did you enjoy the fame and glory
Should've known that we weren't meant to last when
You tossed me out just like a dirty bath mat
And I was lost for so long when I shouldn't have
Been at all
It was my fault
I thought I needed you like a drug
And I couldn't live without your love
But it was you who wasn't good enough for me
I see it clearly now
You had me wrapped around your thumb
So tight that everything went numb
How could I ever have been so dumb
'Cause now I'm better off without
You were all that I could see
I was stuck behind a glass so rosy
You burned me to the third degree
I was caught in your flames there was no escaping
You threw me out just like a dirty trash can
Left me wondering what the hell just happened
Went from the only one to just a has-been
I should've known
I was worth gold
I thought I needed you like a drug
And I couldn't live without your love
But it was you who wasn't good enough for me
I see it clearly now
You had me wrapped around your thumb
So tight that everything went numb
How could I ever have been so dumb
'Cause now I'm better off without
I don't need you anymore
I'm better off on my own
I don't need you anymore
I'm better off on my own
