My girl came home to me
Just the other day acting okay
I was reading alone
In my favorite room the TV was onMay I be excused
For not telling the truth?'Cause she's gone
She said she's better off on her own
She turned her head
Much better off on her ownMy girl knocked on the door
To the place I usually refer to as home
I died surely some tide
She looked in my eyes
Small and surprisedAnd God closed every gate
The moon fell into the lakeBoy, she's gone adrift
She's better off on her own
She closed and she left
Much better off on her ownSitting naked by the window sill
Watching cars upon the hill
Am I sleeping, I was dreaming
For just a moment time stood still, heyBetter off on her own
Better off on her ownNow she's gone
(Better off on her own)
She said
(She's better off on her own)
She's better off on her ownShe turned
(Better off on her own)
Her head
(She's better off on her own)
Much better off on her ownShe's gone
(Better off on her own)
She sighed
(She's better off on her own)
She's better off on her ownThe tears
(Better off on her own)
I cried
(She's better off on her own)
Much better off on her ownMy girl came home to me
Just the other day
