Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up to a quiet room

No name on my buzzing phone

Whole world making weekend plans

I just scroll

Then lock it

Go

Mug stains on the same old desk

Mail piled by the leaning door

I could disappear tonight

Would it echo?

Or be ignored

[Chorus]

Better off gone

Than always the last in line

Better off dust

Than stuck in this waiting mind

Never the first thought

First call

First choice

Just a ghost in a borrowed voice

If I fade out slow

Slip into the dawn

Tell me

Would it matter

Or am I better off gone

[Verse 2]

I learned how to take up space

Quietly

So I don't offend

Laugh at all the right bad jokes

Still nobody calls me friend

I’m the name they almost say

Then remember someone else

I am every empty seat

Saving places

For everyone but myself

[Chorus]

Better off gone

Than always the last in line

Better off dust

Than stuck in this waiting mind

Never the first thought

First call

First choice

Just a ghost in a borrowed voice

If I fade out slow

Slip into the dawn

Tell me

Would it matter

Or am I better off gone

[Bridge]

If there’s a world where I am chosen

Could you send a sign

Just one

Till then I’m here

Half-awake

Half-broken

Practicing how to

Come undone

[Chorus]

Better off gone

Than begging to just belong

Better off dust

Than proving they had me wrong

Never the first thought

First call

First choice

But I’m tired of killing my own voice

So if I fade out slow

Slip into the dawn

Hold me in a memory

Say I wasn’t better off gone
