Better off Without You Lyrics


Thoughts of you to start my day
all the things you used to say
loving you is just a memory
but that's the way that it's got to be
Better off without you
I'm better off on my own
Better off without you
I know that I must be strong
I've got to carry on
I'm better off without you
So many miles of memories
of the way our life used to be
holding you in the morning light
now I just can't seem to get you off my mind
I'm Better off without you
I'm better off on my own
Better off without you
I know that I must be strong

I've got to carry on
I can't convince myself but I know it's true
I'm better off without you
Tables turn - lessons learned
a lesson's been learned so well
goes to show that you never know
there's a part of me that can't believe
but if you love somebody you gotta set 'em free
Better off without you
I'm better off on my own
Better off without you
I know that I must be strong
I've got to carry on
I keep telling myself that it can't be true
I'm better off without you
(Better off without you)
I'm Better off without you
(Better off without you)
Better off without you
(Better off without you)
Better off without you
(Better off without you)

Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.

Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands, but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was in strong contrast for that time, characteristic of leather pants and flashy-make up.

The group released 6 albums with original music, latest of them entitled "Forever More" (2008) as well as a double-disc covers album "Real To Reel" and a number of compilations and live albums.

Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.

The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
