Better Off
filous Josh Roa & BISHØP Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

A thousand hearts, a thousand lies
Sweet love and endless fights
Low vibes and high rides
Made me lose my mind

When I need you close at hand
You turn your back on me again
I'm longing for my love again
I need you to understand

After days and nights we spend
I'm not better off with you
I'm sick and tired
I can't pretend I am better off with you
After days and nights we spend
I'm not better off with you
I'm sick and tired
I can't pretend I am better off with you

I'm not better off, better off with you
I'm not better off, better off with you
I'm not better off, better off with you
I'm not better off, better off with you

A thousand hearts, a thousand lies
Sweet love and endless fights
Low vibes and high rides
Made me lose my mind

When I need you close at hand
You turn your back on me again
I long for a solid man
Baby you need to understand

After days and nights we spend
I'm not better off with you
I'm sick and tired
I can't pretend I am better off with you
After days and nights we spend
I'm not better off with you
I'm sick and tired
I can't pretend I am better off with you

I'm not better off, better off with you
I'm not better off, better off with you




I'm not better off, better off with you
I'm not better off, better off with you
