Steve Earle - Better Off Alone lyrics
[Steve Earle - Better Off Alone lyrics]
Go if you want to, there’s the door
Can’t imagine what you’re waiting for
‘Cause, I know you ain’t the kind
To ever change your mind
And though I taught you everything you know
I learned a thing or two myself and so
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
Now I’m better off alone
I can’t say that I’m surprised
‘Cause that leavin’ look was in your eyes
For some time now and I knew
I was losing you
You ain’t never anything, but blue
Now you say you found somebody new
You can lay that burden on
Guess I’m better off alone
Say what you think you gotta say
Just don’t tell me you changed your
Mind and you’re gonna stay
I can’t tell you what I’d do then
‘Cause, I just can't go through that again
‘Cause it almost killed me then
I guess I should've known
That I’m better off alone
And it’s clear the story’s shown
I’m better off alone
Can’t imagine what you’re waiting for
‘Cause, I know you ain’t the kind
To ever change your mind
And though I taught you everything you know
I learned a thing or two myself and so
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone
Now I’m better off alone
I can’t say that I’m surprised
‘Cause that leavin’ look was in your eyes
For some time now and I knew
I was losing you
You ain’t never anything, but blue
Now you say you found somebody new
You can lay that burden on
Guess I’m better off alone
Say what you think you gotta say
Just don’t tell me you changed your
Mind and you’re gonna stay
I can’t tell you what I’d do then
‘Cause, I just can't go through that again
‘Cause it almost killed me then
I guess I should've known
That I’m better off alone
And it’s clear the story’s shown
I’m better off alone
