Better Off

You believe in all I say
Then you throw it all away
Before you close the door
Are you really any better off than before?
You go rambling through my day
While I’m out here making my way
Yet still I walk the floor
Am I really any better off than before?
Things never looked so rosy
Everything will be okay
I couldn’t be much better if I tried
When I get myself to bed
With the words that never got said
Turning on the news
Are we ever any better off when we lose?
And we can pick and choose?
You had pathway to my heart
'Til the cruel world took it apart
Before I close the door
Are you really any better off than before?
You meander in my dreams
Leave me halfway in between
So I hit the floor
Am I really any better off than before?
Things never looked so rosy
Everything will be okay
I couldn’t be much better if I tried
You go rambling through my mind
On a path I hope I’ll find
Turning on the news
Are we ever any better off when we lose?
And we can pick and choose?
Still I walk the floor
Are we really any better off than before?
Better off than before
