lyrics

I think you're better off dead than runnin' 'round inside my head
Putting chains upon my heart, playing games and picking 'part
The things I've done to make alright the things you made wrong
To make up for the things I lack, the things you stole I can't buy back.
I think you're better off, I think you're better off.

I think you're better off drugged: It'll be easier
To pretend we were in love, To pretend we were in love
And how you wouldn't look me in the eye and you didn't hear me when I cried, you wouldn't take the time
Oh, you didn't give me any of your time.
And I think you're better off, I think you're better off.

Oh baby tell me did you decide before? Did you know before you saw my face at the door?
Oh, well I guess I don't need a reason anymore
I don't have a reason to let you go
'Cause if I let you go, well then you'd be safe.

I think you're better off. I think you're better off.

about

Molly Jewell Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist Molly Jewell’s unique cocktail of lovelorn Americana, confessional country and baroque folk. Her new EP showcases the singer at her most raw and vulnerable. Throughout the sessions, she was also pregnant with her son, West. She’s most thrilled to be a part of the region’s new class of indie-pop voices challenging the status quo.
