Better Off Before by The Aaron Clift Experiment Lyrics

There was a time when things were clearer
When life looked better through the rearview mirror
Now each day, you fade away
And there’s a feeling too strong to ignore
That we were better off before

And now I see, looking back
That I took for granted all I had
I fear I’ve made a grave mistake
And now I face a lonely life that I abhor
(We were) better off before
Better off

I’ll be alone
No matter which way I go
Without you I’ll be kept awake alone in the night
With you I’ll be lonely only opening up in a fight

Can’t you see, woe is me
You haunt my melancholy dreams
So I’ll return, I never learn
And I’ll consider that once more
We were better off before
I’ll be alone
No matter which way I go
Without you I’ll be kept awake alone in the night
With you I’ll be lonely only opening up in a fight

In the end, we both know
I’ll never have the heart to go
It’s you and me, eternally
And we’ll be dancing around with the thought
That we were better off
We were better off
(We were) better off before
