Lyrics
Better Off Without You
Words and Music by Robin O'Herin, copyright 2007, BMI
I.
March winds of change are blowing,
Blowing away the heartache in my mind.
March winds of change are blowing,
Clearing away the wreckage, you left behind.
CHORUS:
And I'm better off without you.
Better off without your lies.
Better off without you.
I keep telling myself, telling myself, I'm better off.
II.
April rains are coming.
Gonna bring new life to this old earth.
April rains are coming.
Mingling with my tears for what it's worth.
CHORUS:
And they say I'm better off without you.
They say I'm better off without your lies.
They say I'm better off without you.
I keep telling myself, telling myself, I'm better off.
Bridge:
Spring and summer, come and gone. Me, I'm just holding on.
Want to scream, want to shout,
We got nothing left, nothing left,
nothing left to talk about.
III.
Autumn leaves are falling.
All this heartache, just water over the dam.
Autumn leaves are falling.
Still don't know what hit me, or who I really am.
CHORUS:
But I know I'm better off without you.
I'm better off without your lies.
I'm better off without you.Better off, Better off, Better off.
I keep telling myself, telling myself, I'm better off.
