Lyrics:

[Intro]
I said, baby, you can't save me
I won't change
I guess we're better off this way
I guess we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah

[Verse 1]
Softly, as evening falls into the stars
I reach your hand before the Earth goes dark
If we had everything under this twilight
I swear we'd make it to Mars
But you left no refuge here now for the dark nights
And the miles and miles of bars
Don't blame yourself, you didn't kill this thing alone

[Chorus]
I said, baby, you can't save me
I won't change
You know we're better off this way
I said, baby, you can't save me, no
I won't change
I guess we're better off this way
I guess we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah

[Verse 2]
Show me that side of you I'm scared to know
I need your truths before I let you go
Now that look in your eyes still leaves me blinded
Is this the death of my youth?
We're always searching for, hoping, and dying for
But do we really want the truth?
Do you see that side of me I used to?

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Under a shooting star, I wish away my heart
May you live outside the shadow of this day
Cause, baby, the love we shared
It’s out of this stratosphere
And I hope you come to know the same
Oh, we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I guess we're better off this way
I guess we're better off, better off
Better this way, yeah
