lyrics
Never really knew you
But I should have known
Everything you made was not your own
You said you were an artist
Underpaid and overdrawn
And no one understands you ’til you’re gone
I still remember
The last words that you said
You said I’m better off dead
That’s what you said
You said I’m better off dead
And I still remember
The last words that you said
You said I’m better off dead
You said it’s all an illusion
Everything’s the same
‘Cuz nothing in this world can ever change
If no one really sees you
No one knows your name
Then no one can ever love you
That’s a shame …
I’m better off dead
You’re better off dead
They’re better off dead
We’re better off dead
Drop dead
