Am I better off dead Am I better off a quitter They say I'm better off now than I ever was with her As they take me to my local down the street I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet They say a few drinks will help me to forget her But after one too many I know that I'm never Only they can see where this is gonna end But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense And my mates are all there trying to calm me down 'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town I'm swearing if I go there now I can change your mind turn it all around I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred So I dialed her number and confessed to her I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing So I stumble there along the railings and the fences I know if I'm face to face that she'll come to her senses Every drunk step I take leads me to her door If she sees how much I'm hurting she'll take me back for sure And my mates are all there trying to calm me down 'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town I'm swearing if I go there now I can change your mind turn it all around And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred So I dialed her number and confessed to her I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing She said nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh I got nothing nothing I got nothing nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh sometimes love's intoxicating Oh you're coming down your hands are shaking When you realise there's no one waiting Am I better off dead Am I better off a quitter They say I'm better off now than I ever was with her And my mates are all there trying to calm me down 'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town I'm swearing if I go there now I can change your mind turn it all around And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred So I dialed her number and confessed to her I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing She said nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh I got nothing nothing I got nothing nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh I got nothing I got nothing
