Better Off
Alive Like Me Lyrics

I was never something that you made important
You never prioritized me in your life.

Every time I think of you I can't ignore that I'm... I'm better off without you.
I realize that my life is better without you in it.

You won't get another chance to take it back
You've lost your opportunity to make things right.

You left me with a choice now I have to act like I... I'm better off without you.
Your absence has forced me to accept that I'm better off on my own.

There's always somewhere else you'd rather be I can see it in your eyes and if history itself
You're never fully present and always looking for an escape.

Soon I'll be treading water just to stay alive I can't live like this I'm too far from home tonight
My life is becoming a struggle and I can't handle it on my own.

I won't fight for it Beacuse I feel like I'm already down and out
I don't have the energy to fight for our relationship when I feel defeated.

You lost yourself in your reflection
You're too focused on yourself and your own desires.

Once you give up on me I hope you finally see...
I hope you realize the value of what you had once it's gone.

It's hard to say you were the best thing for me
I'm struggling to admit that you were good for me once.

And all along I should have seen this coming.
I should have recognized the signs that our relationship wasn't going to last.

Wish I could take back the words that I said I swear to god I wish they never left my mouth.
I regret saying hurtful things that I can't take back now.

And maybe I'm just like you say But maybe losing you made me point the blame.
Maybe I am at fault, but your absence has made me realize it.

You were never something that I made important
I never prioritized you in my life either.

Every time I think of you I can't ignore that I'm... not better off without you.
I realize that my life was better with you in it.

I won't get another chance to take it back You left, I made a choice now it's clear to me that I'm... not better off without you.
You've moved on and now I see that I made the wrong choice in letting you go.

I wish that I could have been there from the start because the day you leave, you'll take my heart And I don't ever want to live alone another day without you
I wish I had appreciated you sooner because now I know that I don't want to be alone without you.

I wish that I never let this fall apart Because the day you leave you'll all take my heart I don't ever want to live alone another day without you
I regret letting our relationship crumble because I don't want to lose you.
