Better off Lyrics by Poly Styrene

2021

[Verse 1]
Don't think you said that they could come back
We're better off now but I want them so bad
Wonder where are they, are they hurt or cold?
I'm coming out to find you, I'm coming out to find you

[Chorus]
Feel like I'm treading water
Come see you down the road or
The park just bring some cover
He doesn't like it anymore
I'm only getting older
That's no ask that's an order
I guess I could try but we're better off without you
Better off without you

[Verse 2]
Don't think you said that they could come back
You made a clean slate but all I see is a crack
The nights are colder and the sky is so blue
I'm coming out to find you, I'm coming out to find you

[Chorus]
Feel like I'm treading water
Come see you down the road or
The park just bring some cover
He doesn't like it anymore
I'm only getting older
That's no ask that's an order
I guess I could try but we're better off without you
Better off without you

[Bridge]
Don't think you said that they could come back
We're better off now but I want them so bad
Wonder where are they, are they hurt or cold?
I'm coming out to find you, I'm coming out to-

[Chorus]
Feel like I'm treading water
Come see you down the road or
The park just bring some cover
He doesn't like it anymore
I'm only getting older
That's no ask that's an order
I guess I could try but we're-

Feel like I'm treading water
Come see you down the road or
The park just bring some cover
He doesn't like it anymore
I'm only getting older
That's no ask that's an order
I guess I could try but we're better off without you
Better off without you
