better off dead - travis tritt lyrics
[verse 1]
there ain’t one objection
that i haven’t lodged
makes me just want to give up
and get the h*ll outta dodge
but i stay here truthful
with a heart that’s in pain
just tryna stay dry
though i’m standin’ in the rain
[verse 2]
would she be forgivin’
if she only knew
how i try to tread water
wearin’ concrete shoes?
and it all goes rotten
everything that i touch
and it won’t be forgotten
that i’ve hurt her this much
will i ever live down
angry words that i’ve said?
i can’t help this feeling
i’d be better off dеad
[verse 3]
she calls up her best friеnd
and she cries on the phone
and i feel like a stranger
in the house we call home
i beg her to listen
as she walks out the room
these clouds won’t be clearin’
here anytime soon
[verse 4]
so, i take desperate measures
to bring back our love
by fixin’ what’s broken
but i can’t patch things up
and it all goes rotten
everything that i touch
and it won’t be forgotten
that i’ve hurt her this much
will i ever live down
angry words that i’ve said?
and lord, i can’t help the feeling
i’d be better off dead
[verse 5]
i walk past her bedroom
first door down the hall
where my daughter lies sleepin’
unaware of it all
and lord, i feel grateful
she’s too young to see
the trouble and turmoil
‘tween her mama and me
and then i lean over
and softly kiss her head
and just then it hits me
i’m not better off dead
