Better Off Worse
[Verse 1]
It's
4 AM on a school night
100 calorie life
Making sure the setup's just right, just right
Burning every bridge that I grace
Making sure that I feel pain
Getting in a bitter headspace
At this pace

[Verse 2]
I'm ready to go
I know
You're craving for a brand new low
I'm ready to go
To halt my growth
And put on a show

[Pre-Chorus]
To you, I'm
Better, better, better off worse
You listen when it hurts too much to bear
It's like I'm
Better, better, better, off worse
My happiness is never cared for
[Chorus]
Overanalyze my broken heart
As the tempo kicks up a notch
'Cuz I'm
Better, better, better off worse
You only ever like me in this spiral of despair

[Post-Chorus]
No, we must go back
Go back to "my" roots", if you could call it that
Go back to the hurdles that I've already passed
Reliving them over and over
And when there is closure, we gotta go bolder

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm ready to go
Because I know
My woes are a product to be consumed
Now you're running low
I know you want something new

But what else can I do?
Oh, what else can I do?

[Chorus]
To you, I'm
Better, better, better off worse
You listen when it hurts too much to bear
It's like I'm
Better, better, better, off worse
My happiness is never cared for
[Post-Chorus]
Overanalyze my broken heart
As the tempo kicks up a notch
'Cuz I'm
Better, better, better off worse
You only ever like me in this spiral of despair

[Breakdown]
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better off

Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better off

[Bridge]
Better off recovering than recovered
Better off hurting than to have hurt
Better off in the dark than in the light
Better off near death than be alright

Bleed out for audience approval
Tragic but perfectly on schedule
You think by now that we would've learned
Behind every piece of art is a human to be heard
But I'm still better, better, better off worse
You listen when it hurts too much to bear
It's like I'm better, better, better off worse
Rejecting change to keep you there

[Chorus]
Because I'm
Better, better, better off worse
You listen when I'm running out of time
It's like I'm
Better, better, better off worse
The mourning of one still alive

[Post-Chorus]
I oversimplify the tears I cry
While you tear them down line by line
'Cuz I'm
Better, better, better off worse
You only ever like me
Only ever like me
When I wanna
Die

[Outro]
I'm
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better off

Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better off

Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better off

Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better off worse
