Better Off This Way

Better Off This Way - Zack Leeb

Trying not to tell you

That I need you back tonight

I know I couldn't budge you

But to say it just feels right

(But) now alone I’m wondering

If I need you still today

Or if it’s better off this way

Separate while together

Trying only for ourselves

I couldn’t be your answer;

And my patience never helped

You held me at a distance

But you kept my fears at bay

You think we’re better off this way?

Anyway– I’d take you any way

To be the same again

I’d give the world to hold you in my

Arms again– Do you remember when

You were my world and then

We couldn’t go no further but

I wish you’d stay. I’d take you any way

To be with you again

I’d move the skies to hold you in my

Arms again– Do you remember when

Our love was stronger then

In passing thought I saw you

But I couldn’t read your face

Older yet no wiser

And another held my place

Choked up, mad with longing

To myself I had to say

I think we’re better off this way!
