lyrics

You’re better off alone than with someone like Eve.
You're better off to lie awake in a bed that's much too big.
You'd be better on your own than with someone like eve.
The sooner you can come to terms, the sooner you can be.


If honesty is a virtue, then I’ve got to hand it to you.
She might still carry her values, but they don’t always surface.
She’ll tell you whatever you like, whether you want it or not.
And maybe she’s not so perfect, but I’ve got to tell you she’s tried.

You realize that you don’t know her, so I guess I’ll hand it to you.
Any thought of reaction will turn her insides out.
When it's time to give comfort, attempts are only desperate.
It’s not that she makes it special, or that she even tries.


You’re better off alone than with someone like Eve.
You're better off to lie awake in a bed that feels too big.
You'd be better on your own than with someone like Eve.
The sooner you can come to terms, the sooner you can be.


She can never think of much to say, and if she could she wouldn’t anyway.
Infinite thoughts swim aimlessly and slip through her grasp before getting free.
She’d do anything to be alone, and her silence is her only controlled element, besides the sins.
With eyes painted white, she'll do what she’s told.


You’re better off alone than with someone like Eve.
You're better off to lie awake in a bed that’s much too big.
You'd be better on your own than with someone like Eve.
The sooner you can come to terms, the sooner you'll feel free.
