Song Description

One TAXI reviewer described this as a "classic modern pop song." When your lover marries another, how do you react? If you're better off without me, you better not say.

Lyrics

BETTER NOT SAY
by Devon Copley

i would say i'm happy for you
if only it were true
and i could count the ways i adore you
but what good would it do?
while i was wishing for perfection
on some romantic star
i let you go the wrong direction
as perfect as you are

you're better than candy
you're better than cake
you're better than all that i asked you to take
you're better than whiskey
so you better not tell me
if you're better off without me
you better not, you better not say

you won't send an invitation
and i won't send a card
you'll collect your congratulations
while i show off my scars
and i can live with this conclusion
cause i know you'll be fine
but won't you leave me my illusion
that i could change your mind

cause you're better than amy
you're better than kate
you're better than one more desultory date
you're better than whiskey
so you better not tell me
if you're better off without me
you better not, you better not say

you better not write me
you better not call me
you better not come to my door
you better not hold me
cause what if you told me you were better off without me?
if you're better off without me
if you're better off without me
you better not, you better not say

there's a world that's just like this one
in some far galaxy
where someone just like you is embracing someone just like me
