Better Off Without You

You said I’d miss you by the morning light

Told me I’d be beggin’ just to make things right

But I made coffee in your favorite cup

Took one sip, and I poured it out

No tears on the floor, no calls in the dark

Just your playlist deleted from my car

You thought you’d wreck me, thought I’d break down

But I’m way better when you’re not around

⸻

I’m better off without you

Breathin’ like I never knew how to

Sleepin’ good and feelin’ fine

Laughin’ louder all the time

I lost the weight of you on my chest

And got back to feelin’ like my best

So if you’re wonderin’ how I do

I’m better — way better — off without you

⸻

You were a storm I kept runnin’ through

Now I dance in the rain like I’m brand new

Got your name off the lease and my lips

Took your pictures down, don’t even miss

⸻

I’m better off without you

Breathin’ like I never knew how to

Sleepin’ good and feelin’ fine

Laughin’ louder all the time

I lost the weight of you on my chest

And got back to feelin’ like my best

So if you’re wonderin’ how I do

I’m better — way better — off without you

⸻

You thought you were the best I’d get

But losing you’s the best thing yet

⸻

I’m better off without you

Finally found what I held on to

A little peace, a lot more light

Turns out I was never really right

With you…

I lost the weight of you on my chest

And got back to feelin’ like my best

So if you’re wonderin’ how I do

I’m better — way better — off without you
