momentum [peter parker]

18. better off

[verse]

soft skin, puckered lips

no it doesn't get better than this

toothy grin, warm hands

you hold me close when we dance

long nights, waiting for you to call

lip bites, waiting for you to fall

i said 'forever' but i was wrong

i was wrong

[chorus]

but i know you're better off without me

i know you're finally free

i was holding you back

and now your life is back on track

yeah i know you're better off without me

[verse]

hard to admit, hard to forgive

how could i have been so selfish

look at you now, baby you're thriving

look at me now, baby i'm dying

it's as it should be

it's as it should be

[chorus]

'cos i know you're better off without me

i know you're finally free

i was holding you back

and now your life is back on track

yeah i know you're better off without me

[bridge]

do you remember when we were kids

and you said we should get married

i laughed and said 'hey maybe someday'

but your someday is so much brighter than mine

you're saving the world, i'm losing my shine

it's as it should be

it's as it should be

[chorus]

'cos i know you're better off without me

i know you're finally free

i was holding you back

and now your life is back on track

yeah i know you're better off without me

[outro]

but i still want it both ways

i want you and i want you to be free

i still want it both ways

i want you but you're better off without me
