Corusco - Better Off

I caught your plane before you flew away
I couldn’t leave a thing unsaid
Like the lovers in the books I’d read

I wish you well but I’ll never explain
Why I couldn’t hold my tongue
What worse could I have done?

Was it a reaction or are you just an actor?

I thought you should know
I’ve been sleeping on floors
To atone for all the things I’ve done

And all that salt in my cough
And the memories I’ve lost
Now I know that you are better off

Without the weight of all the things I’d done
Embarrassed of who I was
Embarrassed of what I’d done

Will I make up for all the sleep I’ve lost?
Another night turning sheets
Looking for your ghost underneath
Was it a reaction or are you just an actor?

I thought you should know
I’ve been sleeping on floors
To atone for all the things I’ve done

And all that salt in my cough
And the memories I’ve lost
Now I know that you are better off

I thought you should know
I’ve been sleeping on floors
To atone for all the things I’ve done

And all that salt in my cough
And the memories I’ve lost
Now I know that you are better off

I thought you should know
I’ve been sleeping on floors
To atone for all the things I’ve done

And all that salt in my cough
And the memories I’ve lost
Now I know that you are better off
Now I know that you are better off
