Better Off Lyrics by Ashlee Simpson

Autobiography (Japan Edition)

2004

[Verse 1]
The sky is falling and it's early in the morning
But it's okay somehow
I spilled my coffee, it went all over your clothes
I gotta wear mine now
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm always, always, always late
And my hair's a mess even when it's straight
[Chorus]
But so what?
I'm better off everyday
When I'm standing in the pouring rain, I don't mind
I think of you and everything's alright
I used to think I had it good
But now I know that I misunderstood
With you I'd say, I'm better off in every way
(Better off in every way)
[Verse 2]
My friends keep calling
They say, they say I'm stallin'
They wanna meet you now
I tell them, "Hell no"
I say, "We're tryna lay low”
Don't wanna lose what I've found
[Pre-Chorus]
Things are finally, finally looking up
Oh, my feet are on the ground
Even though I'm stuck
[Chorus]
But so what?
I'm better off everyday
When I'm standing in the pouring rain, I don't mind
I think of you and everything's alright
I used to think I had it good
But now I know that I misunderstood
With you I'd say, I'm better off in every way
[Pre-Chorus]
Things are finally, finally lookin' up
Oh, my feet are on the ground
Even though I'm stuck
Even though I'm stuck
[Chorus]
But so what?
I'm better off everyday
When I'm standing in the pouring rain, I don't mind
I think of you and everything's alright
I used to think I had it good
But now I know that I misunderstood
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
I'm better off in every way (Better off in every way)
I'm better off in every way (Better off in every way)
I'm better off today (Better off in every way)
[Outro]
The sky is falling and it's early in the morning
But it's okay
