Better Off Lyrics by Matt Bodman

Burn

2009

[Verse 1]
How could you confuse reality with what you see in clouded dreams that taught you how to lie?
There can be no happy ending here that disappear along with everything I thought was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
But in time, even if you came home I'd let you know
[Chorus]
I've been better off on my own
You thought you had won but you lost when I found out you'd been lying all along
Helping yourself to somebody else's shoulders with mine as cold as ice
[Verse 2]
"Keep your chin up boy," they said to me "and soon you'll see that she was nothing special in the sky"
But I miss the mask you wore for me
I don't need to see the face that mask was tryna hide
[Pre-Chorus]
But in time, even if you came home I'd let you know
[Chorus]
I've been better off on my own
You thought you had won but you lost when I found out you'd been lying all along
Helping yourself to his arms
[Bridge]
You thought I was cold so you burnt me alive
You thought I was cold so you burnt me alive
You thought I was cold so you burnt me alive
[Chorus]
I've been better off on my own
You thought you had won but you lost when I found out you'd been lying all along
Helping yourself to his arms
[Chorus]
I've been better off on my own
You thought you had won but you lost when I found out you'd been lying all along
Helping yourself to somebody else's shoulders with mine as cold as ice
