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.
You didn't see the lightning, but I heard the thunder
You say we're not sinking, we're already under
You hold me with empty arms
Always close, yet far
I look in your eyes and I can't help but wonder
What if I'm better off telling the truth
Maybe I never was good for you
What if this back and forth shouldn't last
Maybe I'm better off, better off, better off leaving a
Light off, light off, light off
I'm already leaving before we sit down
The table between us is bigger, somehow
We had a hungry hope (hungry hope)
Now you can't let go
There's nothing to find here that hasn't been found
Maybe I'm better off telling the truth
Maybe I never was good for you
What if this back and forth shouldn't last
Maybe I'm better off, better off, better off leaving a
Light off, light off, light off
Better off, better off, better off leaving a
Light off, light off
We had a hungry hope
Now you can't let go
All these excuses
Scared to be losing
Something that's already gone
I'm better off telling the truth
I never was good you
What if this back (back and forth) and forth (shouldn't last) shouldn't last (better off)
What if I'm better off telling the truth
Maybe I never was good for you
What if this back and forth thing wouldn't go on
Better off, better off, better off leaving a
Light off, light off, light off
Better off, better off, better off leaving a
Light off, light off, light off
