Better Off Without Me

(Verse 1)

Woke up this morning, same old scene,

Drowning in chaos, lost in between.

Thoughts in my head, they’re loud as hell,

Life’s a damn circus, I’m the jester's shell.

(Pre-Chorus)

But look at you shining, so damn bright,

I’m trapped in darkness, while you take flight.

You deserve the laughter, the love, and the light,

Maybe I’m the weight that’s holding you tight.

(Chorus)

Maybe you’d be better off, if I stepped aside,

Less drama and bullshit, less sad tears cried.

Life’s a wild ride, with twists and turns,

But you'd shine brighter, while my heart burns.

(Verse 2)

I see you laughing, it cuts like a knife,

While I’m lost in shadows, just surviving this life.

Every step I take seems heavy and wrong,

You’d be dancing free, I don’t belong.

(Pre-Chorus)

But look at you shining, so damn bright,

I’m trapped in darkness, while you take flight.

You deserve the laughter, the love, and the light,

Maybe I’m the weight that’s holding you tight.

(Chorus)

Maybe you’d be better off, if I stepped aside,

Less drama and bullshit, less sad tears cried.

Life’s a wild ride, with twists and turns,

But you'd shine brighter, while my heart burns.

(Bridge)

I’m tired of storms, tired of this fight,

Wishing you happiness, beneath the moonlight.

You can chase your dreams, without my weight,

So here’s to your future, let’s not tempt fate.

(Chorus)

Maybe you’d be better off, if I stepped aside,

Less drama and bullshit, less sad tears cried.

Life’s a wild ride, with twists and turns,

But you'd shine brighter, while my heart burns.

(Outro)

So take my goodbye, like a fresh breeze,

With you, my friend, I hope life is a tease.

I’ll fade into the background, let go of this fight,

You deserve all the stars, and I’ll slip into night.
