Better Off Without You
Better Off Without You.
I’ve been hearing rumors.
These things that you’ve been saying.
A tragedy a travesty
these games that you are playing.
My heart was set on moving on
my feet were moving fast.
Then, here you come again
and dredging up the past.
I know it wasn’t long ago
it seemed I lost my way.
Still it’s not a reason
to say the things you say.
It seems to me it used to be
I once would turn to you.
Believing still, I always will
somehow you helped me through.
I used to think in thoughts of you,
you were a friend indeed.
More sorry even now than then
I was the friend in need.
So carry on and have your fun,
oh how I refused to doubt you.
Just so you know before you go,
I’m better off without you.
Like secrets told in shadows.
Or whiskey in a coffee cup.
I hope that you don’t lose your way
when Karma catches up.
