  • Am I better off dead?
    Am I better off a quitter?
    They say I'm better off now
    Than I ever was with her
    As they take me to my local down the street
    I'm smiling but I'm dying, trying not to drag my feet

    They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
    But after one too many, I know that I'm never
    Only they can see where this is gonna end
    They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

    And my mates are all there tryna calm me down
    'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
    I'm swearing if I go there now
    I can change her mind turn it all around
    And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
    And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
    So I dialed her number and confessed to her
    I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing

    So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
    I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses
    Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
    If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure

    And my mates are all there tryna calm me down
    'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
    I'm swearing if I go there now
    I can change her mind turn it all around
    And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
    And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
    So I dialed her number and confessed to her
    I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing (nothing, nothing)

    She said nothing (nothing, nothing)
    Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
    Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
    I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
    Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

    Oh, sometimes love's intoxicating
    Oh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking
    When you realize, there's no one waiting

    Am I better off dead?
    Am I better off a quitter?
    They say I'm better off now
    Than I ever was with her

    And my mates are all there tryna calm me down
    'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
    I'm swearing if I go there now
    I can change her mind turn it all around
    And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
    And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
    So I dialed her number and confessed to her
    I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing (nothing, nothing)

    She said nothing (nothing, nothing)
    Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
    Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
    I got nothing (nothing, nothing)
    Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
    Oh, I got nothing (nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing)

    Nothing
    I got nothing
    I got nothing Writer/s: Andrew Marcus Frampton, Daniel John O'Donoghue, Mark Anthony Sheehan, Stephen Alan Kipner
