Emmylou Harris Better Off Without You Lyrics

Better Off Without You Lyrics

(Marshall Chapman/Dennis Walker/Fontaine Brown)

Room 16, the Palms Motel 
Now I can rest behind that door 
My life with you`s become a living hell 
Don`t wanna live like that no more 
And whatever it will take 
I will do to make this final break 

Yeah, better off without you 
Better off without you 
Better off without you in my life 
  
So I`ll unpack my bag 
And kick off these old shoes 
This room is a good as anyplace I`ve ever been 
For lookin` at the truth 
Now it`s all so clear to me 
What a blind man could plainly see 

Yeah, better off without you 
Better off without you 
Better off without you in my life 
  
Oh, God, here comes the tears 
I`m gonna stay right here 
I`ll cry. I`ve cried before 
But I won`t go back no more 

Looks like a change in the weather 
I can hear it start to rain 
I hope it`s not too long this time 
Before the sun comes out again 
But if it rains forever 
I will still be better off 

Yeah, better off without you 
Better off without you 
Better off without you in my life
