Since you've been gone i've had time to myself
I haven't even tried to find somebody else
When you told me you were leaving
It almost came as good news
It may sound funny but it's true
I think i'm better off with the blues
I must admit that i miss you sometimes
Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind
But at the same time i think of all the hell you put me through
And it's the lesser of two evils
I think i'm better off with the blues
I know someday i'll wake up and these blues will be gone
And i'll forget about you and the way you did me wrong
But if you had stayed i'd be dead in my tracks
I still love you baby but i don't want you back
Tonight i'm gonna go down to the sad side of town
Sit there by myself and just start pourin' 'em down
And i'll know just what to say
When someone asks about you
I'll say yea we had our good times
But i think i'm better off with the blues
Yea if i had to choose
I'd say i'm better off with the blues
