I threw away a lifetime,
you laughed and called it a sin
There ain't ever gonna be
a way to work it out,
not after a night like this
I've been waiting on your call now
just the silence and me
I know you want me to chase you around
but I'm so tired of asking you please
I'm through with this,
I'll forget your kiss and move on
There'll be no sleepless nights,
I'll be alright from now on
I'm better off now that you're gone
I'm better off now that you're gone
You put me so far down girl,
I couldn't even stand on my own
Ghosts of you would come back to me
whenever I was alone
Now the candles have all burned out
and the doors are locked and chained
Have no doubts this time
I've figured out a way to end all your games
I'm through with this,
I'll forget your kiss and move on
There'll be no sleepless nights,
I'll be alright from now on
I'm better off now that you're gone
I'm better off now that you're gone
Nights filled with empty bottles
and picking up broken glass
I should have known from the very first night,
that this just never would last
Oh, I'm through with this,
I'll forget your kiss and move on
There'll be no sleepless nights,
I'll be alright from now on
I'm better off now that you're gone
I'm better off now that you're gone
So much better off now that you're gone |
