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.
I feel like all eyes are on me now
Just watching every move I make
Are you waiting for me to crash and burn?
Waiting for your turn to say I’ll never learn?
I’m sure you’ll get your chance
But in spite of all this mess
I won’t settle for anything less
And in the end we’ll see
Who’s better off
Cuz when all is said and done
You’re still here and I’ll be gone
Then we’ll see, who’s better off
No doubt you’ll see me take a wrong turn
At least I’m man enough to fall and learn
I’ve come to see that life is what you make it to be
One life is all you’ve got, so live and be free
I’m sure you’ll get your chance
But in spite of all this mess
I won’t settle for anything less
And in the end we’ll see
Who’s better off
Cuz when all is said and done
You’re still here and I’ll be gone
Then we’ll see, who’s better off
But in spite of all this mess
I won’t settle for anything less
And in the end we’ll see
Who’s better off
Cuz when all is said and done
You’re still here and I’ll be gone
Then we’ll see, who’s better off
(But in spite of all this mess)
Who's better off
(In the end we'll see)
