Room 16, the Palms Motel
|
Now I can rest behind that door
|
My life with you's become a living hell
|
Don't wanna live like that no more
|
And whatever it will take
|
I will do to make this final break
|
|
Yeah, better off without you
|
Better off without you
|
Better off without you in my life
|
|
So I'll unpack my bag
|
And kick off these old shoes
|
This room is a good as anyplace I've ever been
|
For lookin' at the truth
|
Now it's all so clear to me
|
What a blind man could plainly see
|
|
Yeah, better off without you
|
Better off without you
|
Better off without you in my life
|
|
Oh, God, here comes the tears
|
I'm gonna stay right here
|
I'll cry. I've cried before
|
But I won't go back no more
|
|
Looks like a change in the weather
|
I can hear it start to rain
|
I hope it's not too long this time
|
Before the sun comes out again
|
But if it rains forever
|
I will still be better off
|
|
Yeah, better off without you
|
Better off without you
|
Better off without you in my life
|
