The Better Off I'll Be

Claude Kelly


We're liking passing strangers now 
Cuz both of our hearts are so far apart 
Like we're living in different towns 
I don't recognize your voice at all 
You could be right next to me 
But I swear that it seems 
We're separated by a brick wall 
Noo 

Maybe it's my fault 
but I know I could have done better 
I saw a distant look in your eyes 
A long time, long time ago 
But what about you 
You were so caught up 
trying to be a trendsetter 
Now love's out of style 
So you won't fly 
So I guess there's nothing left to do 
But pick up the pieces and walk away 
Luggage and keys and just drive away 
And just cruise down the lonely road 
See, I'll be better off when you're gone 
Maybe I'll head down to Graceland[?] 
Got a couple of friends I can stay with 
The less of you I see 
The better off I'll be 

You're not begging me to stay 
I don't see your tears 
So I'm guessing 
that we're both feeling the same 
I guess we tried and failed at love 
So I'm turning the page 
'Cause I'm ready to make 
a new start after us 
Noo 

Maybe it's all my fault 
but I know I should have done better 
I saw a distant look in your eyes 
A long time, long time ago 
But what about you 
You were so caught up 
trying to be a trendsetter 
Now love's out of style 
So you won't fly 
So I guess there's nothing left to do 
But pick up the pieces and walk away 
Luggage and keys and just drive away 
And just cruise down the lonely road 
No, I'll be better off when you're gone 
Maybe I'll head down to Graceland[?] 
Got a couple of friends I can stay with 
The less of you I see 
The better off I'll be 

I know that each day I'm gone 
It's gonna get easier 
And every minute time moves on 
I won't be missin' ya 
So I gotta 

Just pick up the pieces and walk away 
Luggage and keys and just drive away 
And just cruise down the lonely road 
See, I'll be better off when you're gone 
Maybe I'll head down to Graceland[?] 
Got a couple of friends I can stay with 
The less of you I see (Less of you I see) 
The better off I'll be 

Oh yeah 
The better off I'll be 
Aw, yeah 
The better off I'll be
