[Verse 1]
|
Am I better off dead?
|
Am I better off a quitter?
|
They say I'm better off now
|
Then I ever was with her
|
As they take me to my local down the street
|
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet
|
|
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
|
But after one too many I know that I'll never
|
Only they can see where this is gonna end
|
But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
|
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
|
I'm swearing if I go there now
|
I can change her mind turn it all around
|
|
And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
|
If she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
|
So I'll dial her number and confess to her
|
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
|
I know with her face to face, that she'll come to her senses
|
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
|
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
|
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
|
I'm swearing if I go there now
|
I can change her mind turn it all around
|
|
And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
|
If she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
|
So I'll dial her number and confess to her
|
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
|
|
She said nothing
|
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
|
Oh, I got nothing
|
I got nothing
|
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
|
|
Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating
|
Ohh, you're coming down your hands are shaking
|
When you realize there's no one waiting
|
|
Am I better off dead?
|
Am I better off a quitter?
|
They say I'm better off now
|
Then I ever was with her
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
|
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
|
I'm swearing if I go there now
|
I can change her mind turn it all around
|
|
And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
|
If she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
|
So I'll dial her number and confess to her
|
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
|
|
She said nothing
|
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
|
Oh, I got nothing
|
I got nothing
|
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
|
Ohh I got nothing
|
|
I got nothing [x3]
