[Intro]
I said, baby, you can't save me
I won't change
I guess we're better off this way
I guess we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah
[Verse 1]
Softly, as evening falls into the stars
I reach your hand before the Earth goes dark
If we had everything under this twilight
I swear we'd make it to Mars
But you left no refuge here now for the dark nights
And the miles and miles of bars
Don't blame yourself, you didn't k** this thing alone
[Chorus]
I said, baby, you can't save me
I won't change
You know we're better off this way
I said, baby, you can't save me, no
I won't change
I guess we're better off this way
I guess we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah
[Verse 2]
Show me that side of you I'm scared to know
I need your truths before I let you go
Now that look in your eyes still leaves me blinded
Is this the d**h of my youth?
We're always searching for, hoping, and dying for
But do we really want the truth?
Do you see that side of me I used to?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Under a shooting star, I wish away my heart
May you live outside the shadow of this day
Cause, baby, the love we shared
It's out of this stratosphere
And I hope you come to know the same
Oh, we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I guess we're better off this way
I guess we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah
