Better Off

I spent my days filling my cup with broken lines of hope
The laughters of shattered dreams echoes in time
I fold my hand and watch the stars darken
I'd give up a day with you in exchange for a new dawn

While angels sing ezaultedly in heaven
I sit here and wait for blessings to be given
Someday when I'm gone you'll start believing
That life with me is not worth living

True love come just once in a lifetime
But I'm letting it go now
Because I only live once in a lifetime
Now I'd rather live in tears than die with fears
I'm better off without you

This fairy tale must come to an end
Though I know withou you I'll never find true love again
Can't  figure out why my true love did not last
Would sombody tell me why?
