Better Off

Ashlee Simpson · Autobiography [2004]

The sky is falling and it's

Early in the morning

But it's okay somehow

I spilled my coffee, it went

All over your clothes

I gotta wear mine now



And I'm always, always, always late

And my hair's a mess

Even when it's straight



[Chorus]

But so what

I'm better off everyday

When I'm standing in the pouring rain

I don't mind

I think of you and everything's alright

I used to think I had it good

But now I know that I misunderstood

With you I'd say

I'm better off in everyway



My friends keep calling, they say

They say I'm stalling

They wanna meet you now

I tell them hell no, I say

We're trying to lay low

Don't wanna lose what I've found



Things are finally, finally lookin' up

Oh, my feet are on the ground even though I'm stuck



[Chorus]

But so what

I'm better off everyday

When I'm standing in the pouring rain

I don't mind

I think of you and everything's alright

I used to think I had it good

But now I know that I misunderstood

With you I'd say

I'm better off in everyway



Things are finally, finally lookin' up

Oh, my feet are on the ground even though I'm stuck

Even though I'm stuck



[Chorus]

But so what

I'm better off everyday

When I'm standing in the pouring rain

I don't mind

I think of you and everything's alright

I used to think I had it good

But now I know that I misunderstood



Yeah, yeah...

I'm better off in everyway

I'm better off in everyway

I'm better off today



The sky is falling and it's

Early in the morning

But it's okay
