[Verse 1]
Baby, I've been holdin' on to you
Lately I've been runnin' from the truth
But when I'm with you
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no escapin' the way you're makin' me feel
You say you love me, how come it never seems real?
I love excuses, they keep me here by your side
I'll always love you
[Chorus]
So hard to say that we might be better off
Movin' on without each other
You won't admit that we might be better off
Because if you're gone, I'll find another
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We might be better off
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We might be better off
We might be better off
We might be better off
[Verse 2]
Catch myself lookin' back to the start (the start)
Thread by thread, we slowly fell apart (apart)
Just like back then
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no escapin' the way you're makin' me feel
You say you love me, how come it never seems real?
I love excuses, they keep me here by your side
I'll always love you
[Chorus]
So hard to say that we might be better off
Movin' on without each other
You won't admit that we might be better off
Because if you're gone, I'll find another
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We might be better off
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We might be better off
We might be better off
We might be
[Bridge]
Maybe we should just give up and start on moving on
Makes me think that we've been growing apart all along
Maybe we, maybe we're better, better, better off
Even so, I'll always love you
[Chorus]
I just can't say that we might be better off
Movin' on without each other
You won't admit that we might be better off
Because if you're gone, I'll find another
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We might be better
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We might be better off
