Slave

Album: You Made Me (2004)
  • I'm better off lonely, I've had it don't pick up the phone
    You don't understand me, I can't watch the drama unfold
    Tell me how to handle the slip in the knot of the rope
    Another black Sunday, another black Sunday

    You break me down and think it's all right
    You push me out and troubles on the way
    It brings me down I'm better off lonely, I'm better off lonely
    I'm not your slave

    Maybe there's someway, to get you inside of my scope
    Be on the same page, and not at each other's throats
    And if you get lonely and miss what you wanted the most
    Clean up the bloodstains, clean up the bloodstains

    You break me down and think it's all right
    You push me out and troubles on the way
    It brings me down I'm better off lonely, I'm better off lonely
    I'm not your slave, I'm not your slave

    Pills you swallow wait till tomorrow
    Radio caller tell me your problems
    Face in the mattress scream out the madness
    Keeps getting harder please don't follow me

    I'm not your slave
    You break me down and think it's all right
    You push me out and troubles on the way
    It brings me down I'm better off lonely, I'm better off lonely

    I'm not your slave
    You break me down and think it's all right
    You push me out
    I'm not your slave

    It brings me down I'm better off lonely, better off lonely
    I'm not your slave
    I'm not your slave Writer/s: Jesse Logan, Josh Todd, Kent Ross, Mark Lettig, Mike Hewitt
