Better Off
MetaJoker Lyrics

Can you hear me now?
I am desperately reaching out for your attention and hoping you can hear my plea.

'Cause I don't have much left anymore
I feel empty and drained, as if I have nothing left to hold onto.

But I am calling out
I am making a desperate cry for help and longing for a response.

As you're drifting away
I can sense you slowly distancing yourself from me, making me feel alone and abandoned.

In the wake of the storm
Amidst the chaos and destruction caused by our struggles, I am left grasping for stability.

I wanna fall away
I desire to escape from the overwhelming burden of emptiness that engulfs my mind.

From the weight of the emptiness filling my head
The hollowness and despair that constantly occupy my thoughts are becoming unbearable.

But I am wearing thin
My strength and resilience are diminishing, leaving me vulnerable and fragile.

From the memories I can't forget
The painful recollections of our past still haunt me and refuse to be erased from my mind.

Oh, won't you come back from the skies?
I yearn for your return, hoping that you will descend from above and be back by my side.

It's dust without you
My life feels meaningless and insignificant without your presence.

Wasting away before my eyes
I am helplessly witnessing the gradual deterioration and decay of everything I hold dear.

And I'm about to, so
I am on the verge of succumbing to the overwhelming sorrow and pain.

Please remember me
I plead for you to hold onto the memories of our time together, to not let them fade away.

I need you here, though I know you're
Despite being aware that you are better off without me, I still long for your presence and support.

Better off without me
Acknowledging that your life is improved by being without me, and I accept that with a heavy heart.

The pain has only grown
The agony I experience continues to intensify, becoming more unbearable with time.

Though the fire has faded to grey
The passion and intensity we once had has now dwindled, leaving behind a dull and lifeless state.

And I will never know
I am left with unanswered questions and the longing for understanding why you were taken away.

Why the universe wanted to take you away
I struggle to comprehend the reason behind the universe's decision to separate us, leaving me in confusion and despair.

Oh we were young at heart
We shared a youthful spirit and zest for life, filled with hope and dreams.

But time it remembers our fears
Time has a way of reminding us of our deepest fears and insecurities, causing a drift between us.

And so we grew apart
The distance between us gradually widened, leading to a disconnect and emotional detachment.

The ache in our hearts, the weight of the years
The pain and heaviness in our hearts only intensified as the years passed, burdening our relationship.

I cannot go back, I've really tried
Despite my efforts, I am unable to return to the past and mend what has been broken.

I cannot hold it, the loss inside
The grief and emptiness within me are too overwhelming to bear and control.

I never knew how to say goodbye
I lacked the ability to properly express farewell and let go of what we once had.

A scar is painted in my skin
The pain and emotional wounds inflicted by our separation are permanently etched on my being.

One moment I'm out than I'm back in
I find myself constantly oscillating between moments of acceptance and moments of longing for your presence.

I'll never hurt you, never again
I promise to never inflict pain upon you again, having learned from the mistakes of the past.

Go, I'll leave you alone
I will step back and give you the space you need, accepting that I should not intrude upon your life any longer.

Oh, won't you come back from above?
I implore you to return to me, descending from a higher place or state to reunite with me.

Cause I am broken
I am shattered and fragmented, emotionally and mentally damaged by our separation.

Echo the ghost of our love
The remnants and memories of our love continue to reverberate within me, like a haunting echo.

I'll be awoken
Your return will awaken me from my state of despair and loneliness, bringing hope back into my life.

Won't you come back from the skies?
Once again, I plead for your return, asking you to descend from the heavens and be with me.

The clouds will open
If you come back to me, it will be as if the skies part and bring forth a renewed sense of clarity and happiness.

Bring back the light into my eyes
Your presence will illuminate my life and reignite the spark of joy and optimism within me.

For just a moment, so
Even if it's only temporary and brief, I yearn for a moment of being together with you once again.

Please just speak to me
I long for communication and connection with you, desperately wanting to hear your voice and feel your presence.

I want you here, though I know you're
Despite the knowledge that you are happier without me, I still deeply desire your companionship and support.

Better off without me
Accepting that you are leading a better life without me, even though it brings me immense sadness.

Better off without me
Reinforcing the realization that I am not beneficial to your well-being and happiness, and accepting it as a painful truth.
