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'll never

Only they can’t see where this is gonna end

They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense

[Chorus]

And my mates are all there trying to 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

[Verse 2]

So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences

I know if we're face to face then 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

[Chorus]

And my mates are all there trying to 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

She said nothing

Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh, I got nothing

Oh, I got nothing

Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating

Ohh, 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

[Chorus]

And my mates are all there trying to 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

She said nothing

Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh, I got nothing

I got nothing

Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh, I got nothing

I got nothing [x3]

About a week since the day you walked

Knowing things would never be the same

With your empty heart and mine full of pain

So explain to me, how it came to this

Take it back to the night we kissed

It was Dublin city on a Friday night

You were vodkas and cokes, I was Guinness all night

We were sitting with our backs against the world

Saying things that we thought but never heard

Who would have thought it would end up like this?

Where everything we talked about is gone

And the only chance we have of moving on

Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we met

Before our hearts decide

It's time to love again

Before too late, before too long

Lets try to take it back

Before it all went wrong

There was a time, that we'd stay up all night

Best friends talking 'til the daylight

Took the joys alongside the pain

With not much to lose but so much to gain

Are hearing me? Cause I don't wanna miss,

That you would drift on memory bliss

It was Grafton Street on a rainy night

I was down on one knee and you where mine for life

We we're thinking we would never be apart

With your name tattooed across my heart

Who would have thought it would end up like this?

Where everything we talked about is gone

And the only chance we have of moving on

Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we met

Before our hearts decide

It's time to love again

Before too late, before too long

Lets try to take it back

Before it all went wrong

If the clouds don't clear

Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it

Heavens gate is so near

Come walk with me through

Just like we used to, just like we used to

Lets take it back

Before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we met

Before our hearts decide

It's time to love again

Before too late, before too long

Lets try to take it back

Before it all went wrong

Don't give yourself away

Don't live your life that way

Of course he's gonna say anything you want

Then leave quicker than he came

Now you've got yourself to blame

Don't put yourself back in the fire again 

It's the same damn things you're so quick to believe

You do it over and over again

And it's the same mistakes that I'm watching you weave

You do it over and over again

So before they bring you down 

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything 

Girl that brings you down, down, down 

Please don't be so naïve, don't wait 'til your heart bleeds

Love wasn't built for speed, listen to me girl

He keeps fuckin' with your head, tryna get you into bed

And in the morning you'll just hate yourself 

It's the same damn things you're so quick to believe

You do it over and over again

And it's the same mistakes that I'm watching you make

You do it over and over again and over again

So before they bring you down 

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything 

Girl that brings you down, down, down 

[3x]

And you give until there's nothing to give

Until there's nothing to give,

until there's nothing to give... 

Before they break you down 

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything

You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything 

Before they bring you down, down, down

Girl they'll bring you down, down, down

I will never win this game

Without you, without you

I am lost, I am vain,

I will never be the same

Without you, without you

I won't run, I won't fly

I will never make it by

Without you, without you

I can't rest, I can't fight

All I need is you and I,

Without you, without you

Oh oh oh! You! You! You!

Without... You! You! You!

Without...you

Can't erase, so I'll take blame

But I can't accept that we're estranged

Without you, without you

I can't quit now, this can't be right

I can't take one more sleepless night

Without you, without you

I won't soar, I won't climb

If you're not here, I'm paralyzed

Without you, without you

I can't look, I'm so blind

I lost my heart, I lost my mind

Without you, without you

Oh oh oh! You! You! You!

Without... You! You! You!

Without...you

I am lost, I am vain,

I will never be the same

Without you, without you

Without...you

Just praying to a God that I don't believe in

'Cause I got time while she got freedom

'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst

She finally met a man that's gonna put her first

While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping

'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven... even... no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you,

And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok

I'm falling to pieces, yeah ... I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason

But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding

'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even... no

What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you,

And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok

I'm falling to pieces, yeah ...

I'm falling to pieces, yeah ... I'm falling to pieces

One still in love while the other one's leaving

I'm falling to pieces

('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain

You took your suitcase, I took the blame.

Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh

'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in

'Cause I got time while she got freedom

'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break

No it don't break

No it don't break even no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and

What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok

(Oh glad your okay now)

I'm falling to pieces yeah

(Oh I'm glad your okay)

I'm falling to pieces yeah

(One still in love while the other ones leaving)

I'm falling to pieces

('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't break even no

Oh it don't break even no

Oh it don't break even no
