I heard your mother died Just a few days ago And tears fill your eyes with grief and sorrow Cause you to question why because you don't know If there comes a time when we all, when we all must go [Chorus:] Better off dead, if you're going to believe Better off dead, in some painful (painful) memories Better off dead, for truly you'll be free Then to get down on your knees Can you continue to go on and ignore? A most certain fate you have grown, grown to abhor If what you believe is true And you have no remorse No matter what you do, no matter what you do, Oh, you'll be on, you'll be on the same course [Chorus] Can someone tell me why I'm not better off dead? I no longer deny these thoughts filling my head I'm left to decide for this path I've been led If there's more to life than just d**h [Solo] [Chorus] It's alright, I'm only bleeding
