My girl came home to me just the other day, acting OK
I was reading alone in my favourite room, the TV was on
May I be excused for not telling the truth
'Cos she's gone, she said / she's better off on her own
She turned her head / much better off on her own
My girl knocked on the door / to the place I usually refer to as home
I died, shoelace untied / she looked in my eyes, small and surprised
And God closed every gaze / the moon fell into the lake
Boy, she's gone, a drift / She's better off on her own
She closed, then she left / much better off on her own
Sitting naked by the windowsill / watching cars upon the hill
Solo: ( Better off on her own ) ( Better off on her own)
Now she's gone, she said / she's better off on her own
She turned her head / much better off on her own
She's gone, she sighed / she's better off on her own
The tears I cried / much better off on her own
My girl came home to me just the other day.
