Better Off

Better to hold my own alone here empty handed
Struggling honest reaching out above the quicksand
Better to bite my tongue an inch of silver song
Then tell you the truth that we were long gone

Erase me now
Phase me out
Lost out loud and better off

Better to lie about the consequences here
Better the sleeplessness than an empty lovers bed
Better to lose you
Better to leave you all alone
With my shadow on the wall

Erase me now
Phase me out
Lost out loud and better off

I dreamt about a poem
It taught me almost everything
And I felt that I might tell you when I woke
But you were gone
You were gone

Erase me now
Phase me out
Lost out loud yeah we're lost

Erase me now
Phase me out
Lost out loud and better off
Better off

Erase me now
Phase me out
Lost out loud and better off
