Steve Earle — Better Off Alone

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
