"Better Off On Her Own"

My girl came home to me
Just the other day
Acting okay
I was reading alone
In my favourite room
The TV was on
May I be excused
For not telling the truth?

'Cause she's gone
She said
She's better off on her own
She turned her head
Much better off on her own

My girl knocked on the door
To the place I usually refer to as home
I died, surely some tide
Should have dimmed my eyes
Small and surprised
And God closed every gate
The moon fell into the lake

Boy, she's gone
Her drift
She's better off on her own
She closed and she left
Much better off on her own

Sitting naked by the window sill
Watching cars upon the hill
Am I sleeping?
I was dreaming
For just a moment time stood still
Hey!

Better off on her own
Better off on her own

Now she's gone
She said
She's better off on her own
She turned her head
Much better off on her own
She's gone
She sighed
She's better off on her own
The tears I cried
Much better off on her own

My girl came home to me
Just the other day...
