Better Off Without You
Zornik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I dreaming
People are passing the loneliness
Am I different
Who's to blame for all of this
Do you think I don't exist
Cause there comes the pain
I'm better off without you
Yes, I'm better off alone
I'm better off without you
And I'm better off when I'm on my own
It seems to me that I have been
A fool for all I said to you (2x)
Am I dreaming
Where it's freedom for all of us, oh yeah
How love kills the pain
I'm better off without you
Yes, I'm better off alone
I'm better off without you
Yes, I'm better off alone
I'm better off without you
And I'm better off when I'm on my own




It seems to me that I have been
A fool for all I said to you (4x)
