Better Off Lyrics

Judith Avers Better Off

It don't matter what you did
It don't matter what you said
You're careful like the night
Proud like the day

There ain't a thing I want from you
There ain't a thing I'd take
Cautious you walk
But that bough's about to break

You can't get nowhere when you're broken down
You can't get nothin' with a shut mouth
You can't get nowhere with your stubborn pride
But girl, you sure do try

I wonder if you're lonely
You'd never let me know
I wonder do you think of me
When you're alone
are you better off?

it's allright to build walls sometimes
break a doorway down
now and then
it would sure be nice
tread soft, keep in mind
every dark day needs a little bit of light

Whoever wins your heart, girl
Opens you wide
Whoever you're gonna let break inside
Will be the luckiest girl alive
Are you better off?
