Testo di Better Off Alone

Empty on the hours And empty on the days I've locked up all the doors Take me on my way Down a broken road of questions That lead me to a lie To a cold night in December When we both sat down to cry Now will you carve my name upon a stone? Will you lay me down to rest? Do you think I'll see my father's father Do you think I'll pass his test? Will you whisper "Lord please keep me, Always walk right by my side"? Will you place the coins upon my eyes To pay the boatman for the ride? Chorus: Well I was standing in the drizzling rain Just long enough to wash away my pain And realize that she's never coming home She said "I won't come back" I said "Don't come back, I'm better off alone" She called me from a pay phone South of San Antone And I could hear somebody talking But she swore she was alone You know it sounded so familiar I pray to God that I am wrong I always thought she'd leave me I never dreamed he'd go along Chorus X2 I'm better off alone
