I'm Better Off Now

At first I thought
I couldn’t go on
My world came
Crashing down
I sat in the dark
Not moving forward
Closing the whole world out

Little by little
I re-entered the world
Looking at it with
Different eyes
I met new people
They helped me along
And now I’ve come to realize that…

I’m better off now
Than I was before
The best thing that happened to me
Was the that day you walked, right out of my life
Though it took some time
For me to see it like this
Now it’s clear
That I’m better off now

With the new people
I have met
And the new things
That I’ve done
I don’t have to spend my time
Missing you
Now that I know that…

I’m better off now
Than I was before
The best thing that happened to me
Was the day that you walked, right out of my life
Though it took some time
For me to see it like this
Now it’s clear
That I’m better off now

Still, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
Wonder what my life would be like if you were here
Then I pause
And take a look around
And that’s what makes me sure that…

I’m better off now
Than I was before
The best thing that happened to me
Was the day that you walked, right out of my life
Though it took some time
For me to see it like this
Now it’s clear
It’s oh so clear
Yeah, it’s crystal clear
That I’m better off now
