You
Believe in all I say
Then you throw it all away
Before you close the door
Are you really any
Better off than before?
You
Go rambling through my day
While I'm out here making my way
Yet, still, I walk the floor
Am I really any
Better off than before?
Things never looked so rosy
Everything'll be okay
I couldn't be much better
If I tried
When I get myself to bed
With the words that never got said
Turning on the news
Are we ever any
Better off when we lose?
And we can pick and choose
ย
You
Had a pathway to my heart
'Till the cruel world took it apart
Before I close the door
Are you really any
Better off than before?
You
Meander in my dreams
Leave me halfway in between
So I hit the floor
Am I really any
Better off than before?
Things never looked so rosy
Everything'll be alright
I couldn't be much better
If I tried
You go rambling through my mind
On a path I'm hoping I'll find
Turning on the news
Are we ever any
Better off when we lose?
And we can pick and choose
ย
Still, I walk the floor
Are we really any
Better off than before
Better off than before
