Better Off Lyrics

Jennifer Knapp

Wish I'd known the way, wish I'd found the door
wish I took the path you showed me before

'cause i'd be better off, i'd be a better man
if i was what you want, and not what i am

careful what you wish, i am a dream come true now
i'm someone else who only wanted you

'cause i'd be better off, i'd be a better man
if i was what you want, and not what i am

i don't fear the break, i can't feel the bend
if i was what you want then i know, i know i can
please believe in me, don't be leaving me
i won't be thrown away

please believe in me, don't be leaving me
i try to make it plain that i can change
i can change

wish i'd know the way, wish i could find the door
that can take us back to where we were before
where we were better off, i was a better man
i was what you wanted and not what i am

i don't fear the break, i can't feel the bend
if it's what you want, then i know i can
cause i'd be better off, i'd be a better man
if it's what you want, then i know i can
