BETTER DEAD

Well it’s off well it’s over I’ll take back the ring

And I’ll do what it takes to get out of this thing

See I made some mistakes but I won’t make no more

You got that look on your face Like your hands been slammed in the door

And there’ll be no red carpet and no wedding veil

We tried it one time and I guess it just failed

Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew

I’d be better dead than with you

Well I’m wearin’ out the carpet from pacin’ the floor

I used to think I was nervous now I just think that I’m bored

There was a time when I knew what I wanted to be

But somewhere that turned into let’s wait an’ see

So I waited and waited but nothin’ seemed to come

She said hold on a minute its on the tip of my tongue

I invested in some new walkin’ shoes

And I’d be better dead than with you

And we were two of a kind parallel lines

Now we go different ways from opposite sides

Now I’m drawin’ the curtains and closin’ the blinds

If I’m outta sight for a while I don’t think that you’ll mind

See you wanted me most when I wanted you least

Funny how things change in a matter of weeks

And I once wrote I love you but that was just a misprint

Now I can’t even find it, its gone like invisible ink

You get bored when things ain’t quite so new

I’d be better dead than with you
