I Am Better Without You
Everclear Lyrics

Sometimes I need your sex
I crave the physical act of sex with you.

Like a junkie needs a hard drug
My need for sex with you is like an addiction.

We are poison to each other
Our relationship is toxic and detrimental to both of us.

We are like opposites attract on crack
Our difference in personalities only intensifies the destructive nature of our relationship.

Sometimes you hit me in my sleep
Our relationship has been physically and emotionally violent in the past.

We will never be friends
There is no hope for a positive platonic relationship between us.

We are a bad movie that never ends
Our relationship is like a terrible film, with constant conflict and no conclusion.

You call my house
You attempt to contact me through my phone.

Wasted late at night
You are intoxicated, presumably with alcohol or drugs, when you contact me.

Want to come over and get in my bed
You express a desire to have sex with me.

Maybe you just want to fight
There is a chance that you are also seeking conflict with me.

Leave me alone
I want no further interaction or communication with you.

I know you blame me For a not so happy home
You hold me accountable for the negative state of our previous living arrangements or relationship.

We will never be happy until We see each other toothless And crazy living on the street
The only way for us to finally be rid of each other is to see each other at our absolute worst, with nothing left to lose.

I crave the pain only you can do
I have an unhealthy inclination towards the emotional pain that comes from interacting with you.

The voice inside it tells me I am better without you
There is a part of me that realizes my life would improve without you in it.

I am better without the shame Yeah the only thing I miss was sex with you
My current state without you is preferable, although I still long for the physical aspect of our past sexual relationship.

You are better without me too
I acknowledge that our relationship is negative for both of us, and you would also improve without me in your life.

When I hear your name It takes me back to the day we met
Thoughts of you bring me back to our first meeting.

Like the fact that I don't like you And you don't like me
We have fundamental dislikes of each other that are impossible to overcome.

I kiss my daughter goodnight I drive to your house and I set myself on fire
The thoughts of you create a sense of pain that I am unable to ignore, and I act on self-destructive behavior.

I will gladly take the blame If it will make you go away
I would rather take fault or responsibility for things that were not my fault to encourage you to leave me alone.

My cat doesn't like you She thinks I'm better without you
Even my pets recognize that our relationship is negative, and it is better for me to not have you around.

Your boyfriend says I'm awesome He says I'm better without you
Others in your life also recognize that our relationship was negative and it is positive for me to have moved on.

All our friends that knew us in the day They tell me I am better without All the games you play
People who knew us previously also feel that I am better off without the negative games played in our relationship.

We will meet again someday We will stand there face to face You will smile at me, and I'll smile at you And we'll turn and walk away
We may cross paths again in the future, but it will be brief and neither of us will make an effort to reignite past conflicts or hurt.

I don't want to see your face and You don't want to hear my name
Both of us wish to avoid future interaction and want nothing to do with each other.

I am better without the drama
I have improved my life by removing the drama that came with our past relationship.

(You are better without me too)
I reiterate that our interaction was negative for both of us, and you are also better off without me.
