better off lyrics

[Verse 1]

You keep me in your orbit

Well, I know I'm a hard one to please

Give it too much importance

My love will have you fall to your knees

I tell them this too often

Know better than to bark up my tree

Just for me to fall and leave

And I'd rather just watch you smoke and drink, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Steering clear of any headaches to start

And if we're being honest

I'd rather your body than half of your heart

Or jealous-ridden comments

They come when you let them feelings that I don't want

I never let them know too much

Hate gettin' too emotional, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm better off without him

I'm better off being a wild one

On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand

So that I'm better off not being around ya

[Verse 2]

Go on and face it, I'll never be ready for you, ready for you

I swear my love is a curse, make you head over shoes, head over shoes

Let's put them topics to bed and go fuck on the roof, just to say that we did

You keep insisting I listen to your proposition

I dismiss them all, no offense, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Steering clear of any headaches to start

And if we're being honest

I'd rather your body than half of your heart

Or jealous-ridden comments

They come when you let them feelings that I don't want

I never let them know too much

Hate gettin' too emotional, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm better off without him

I'm better off being a wild one

On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand

So that I'm better off not being around ya

I'm better off without him

I'm better off being a wild one

On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand

So that I'm better off not being around ya
