Better Off
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So hard for me to trust when all people do is take.
Not gonna sit around and await my next mistake.
Take you down with me, pull the knife from my back.
Try to apologize but I take everything back.
I'd be better off with you than dead.
I'd be better off with you than dead.
I'd be better off with you than dead.
I'd be better off with you than dead.
I see that the ends never justify the means.
It wasn't my mistake that you walked into my scene.
All you did was take, there wasn't much left of me.
Nothing left but clotted blood, shadows of memory.
You're nothing but a fake, a chameleon in my head.
Hide against memories, I'd be better off with you than dead.
I thought the act was sincere, but now I see the truth.
I've fallen for this too many times.
I've fallen too hard for you. For you
