Better Off (Dead and Gone)

Better Off (Dead and Gone )


Was all this a wasted effort, just all for naught .


to believe that it might last forever, a worthless

thought .

I can't believe you girl playin these games w/

my head.

takin me for another fool in love,leavin me

better off dead.

(dead and gone) so you don't have to worry

'bout hidin it from me ,I can see it clear as day.

I'm leavin now ,leaving you to clean up the

mess you made ,goin far away

It's all the same to you ,don't matter at all I'm

just better off dead. (dead and gone)

one day you will realize what you lost , what

you let slip through your fingers.

you'll sit down and cry, wishing for me to come

back to you, the pain of losing me lingers.

only then will you think to yourself, that I'm

not better off dead(dead and gone)

you'll ache for me to hold you in my arms, to

kiss you goodnight.

to spend a night with me under the night skies

starry light.

to think that now things with out me there are

so black.

you'll call me up and want me to come back.

I'll say to you ' girl you had your chance, I'm

gone forever.

you'll cry and beg and plead 'won't you

please come back and restore my life'.

'cuz without you here mine is hell full of pain

and torment and strife'.

I'll say to you ' you certainly didn't need me

then, I was better off dead(dead and gone). I'm

not comin back now or never'.

finally you'll say to me ' won't you please

Reconsider its just not the same with you gone,

please come back and make everything right'.

I'll just say to you ' I'm not changing my

answer you should have seen this comin a long

time ago, now good night.'

You'll hang up the phone and sit there cryin' to

your self thinking oh what could have been, if

only we were still together.

Thinking of all the stuff we did together over

the last five and a half months just tryin to

remember.

Remembering when I first asked you out at the

Young Life house ,me tellin you afterwards

how nervous I was.

Our first date to red robin and bowling

afterwards.

You thinkin to this day that I put that fry we

found up in the lamp shade up there just cuz.

Thinkin bout south's homecoming how much I

look like I'm jogging when I try to dance, how

much we had fun.

Thinkin of all the other memories you made

with me and to think it should come to this,

now he won't take me back, he says we're

done.

you'll try just once more but all you get is my

answering machine tellin you to leave a

message, now its all the more clear.

Just how much you miss me ,how much you

need me here
