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 And I now that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred So I dialled 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 we're 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 hurted 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 now that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen this time even though it's lust Dial her number and confess 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, I got 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 now that I'm drunk but I'll say the words And she'll listen this time even though it's lust Dial her number and confess 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, I got nothing Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh I got nothing
