Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I’m better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I’m smiling but I’m dying, trying not to drag my feet
They say a few drinks
Will help me to forget her
But after one too many,
I know that I’m never
Only they can see where this is gonna end
But they all think I’m crazy but to me it’s perfect sense
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
‘Cause I’m shouting your name all over the town
I’m swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around
I know that I’m drunk but I see the worst
If she’ll listen this time even though this lust
I’ll dial her number and confess to her
I’m still in love but all I heard was nothing
So I stumble there,
along the railings and the fences
I know I’m with her face to face,
that she’ll come to her senses
Every drunk stand by tend leads me to her door
If she sees how much I’m hurting, she’ll take me back for sure
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
‘Cause I’m shouting your name all over the town
I’m swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around
And I know that I’m drunk but I see the worst
If she’ll listen this time even though this lust
I’ll dial her number and confess to her
I’m still in love but all I heard was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, sometimes love’s intoxicating
Oh, you’re coming down, your hands are shaking
When you realize there’s no one waiting
Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I’m better off now
Then I ever was with her
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
‘Cause I’m shouting your name all over the town
I’m swearing if I go there now
I can change your mind, turn it all around
And I know that I’m drunk but I see the worst
If she’ll listen this time even though this lust
I’ll dial her number and confess to her
I’m still in love but all I heard was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
