Love you til my breath gives out
Never thought I'd be the same, but someone had to stand my ground
I wish that I could take back the time - time I wasted on you
But all of the sleepless nights and the useless fights made me realize
I'm better off without you
U u I'm better off off without you
I'm better off without you
I'm better off off without you
I'm better off without you
U u I'm better off off without you
I'm better off without you
Tongue-tied on the day we met
Smitten by your laughter
Closed-eyed - so caught up, didn't see the threat
Loveblind - forgot what really matters
is me, was on my knees, but soon I found my remedy
I wish that I could take back the time - time I wasted on you
But all of the sleepless nights and the useless fights made me realize I'm better off without you
I'm better off without you
U u I'm better off off without you
I'm better off without you
I'm better off off without you
I'm better off without you
U u I'm better off off without you
I'm better off without you

I will love you until my last breath
Never thought I'd be the same, but someone had to stand my ground
I never expected to remain unchanged, but I had to assert myself

I'm better off without you
I am in a better state without your presence
U u I'm better off off without you
I am significantly better off without you
Tongue-tied on the day we met
Speechless when we first met
Smitten by your laughter
Enamored by the sound of your laughter
Closed-eyed - so caught up, didn't see the threat
Blinded by infatuation, I failed to perceive the danger
Loveblind - forgot what really matters
Obsessed with love, I disregarded what truly holds significance
is me, was on my knees, but soon I found my remedy
It was me, surrendering, but eventually, I discovered my solution
