You shut me down, I shut you up,

We do not talk, I’ve had enough,

You crawl right back, I give some flak,

But I always take you back.

I see the signs, it’s getting clear

We run in circles half the year,

But this ride is out of gas, we can’t make this last.

I’ll put you in the past…

Sometimes dead is better, Sometimes dead is better,

You weren’t much of a friend, I look forward and I look back, and I can tell this needs to end.

Sometimes dead is better, I see it so clearly now

It’s crazy that this took so long, but I just can’t keep you around.

It’s never easy, to cut the thread,

But some things… are better off unsaid,

You never forgive, you never forget,

And that messes with my head,

Why is it so hard, to say goodbye,

To all the things that make me wanna die

My days are filled with dread

It’s time to clear my head

You heard me when I said

Sometimes dead is better, Sometimes dead is better,

You weren’t much of a friend, I look forward and I look back, and I can tell this needs to end.

Sometimes dead is better, I see it so clearly now

It’s crazy that this took so long, but I just can’t keep you around.

This town

That life

This drink

That fight

Why is it so hard to say goodbye

The strings

That bind

Hold weight

Take time

Nevertheless I sacrifice

You thought you had me

But this ends badly for you

Because…

Sometimes dead is better, Sometimes dead is better,

You weren’t much of a friend, I look forward and I look back, and I can tell this needs to end.

Sometimes dead is better, I see it so clearly now

It’s crazy that this took so long, but I just can’t keep you around.
