about

I wrote the lyrics and melody to this a long time ago - in a songwriting class at Foothill College, in fact - and brought it to several collaborators along the way.
Finally hit the right groove when Herman Eberitzsch took a crack at it.
NOTE: this is a rough, unmastered track.
When we get enough preorders, I can go into the studio to finish it.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Do you wonder why it always has to be so hard ?
Did you think, you'd spend all this time in tears?
Why are you standing here staring at that glass ?
Girl, you're better off without him

Does he offer his hand, before you ask?
Has he opened his heart, let you in?
Then why do you hang around waiting for a change?
Girl, you're better off without him
Girl, you're better off without him

Will you linger, ever wanting in an empty world?
Never moving on but never really being here?
Are you afraid - in fear of finding out
That love isn't there or anywhere?

Did he say he couldn't live without you?
Or did he say he thinks of you just as a friend?
Then why don't you go away, find yourself a brand new life?
Girl, you're better off without him
Girl, you're better off without him
Girl, you're better off without him
Girl, you're better off alone.
