[Verse 1]

Maybe in a year or so

We’ll be better off, we won’t

So I’ll begin to question it

Maybe that’s unfair of me

I’ve never been an optimist

[Pre-Chorus]

There appears to be a better way to deal with it

[Chorus]

I always seek the worst in everything

Served me okay up to now

I think you’re better off without

[Verse 2]

I can’t seem to connect the dots

I’m starting to fear we’re lost

And as the clouds start drawing clear

And I lose sense of why we’re here

You think I’m okay, I’m not

[Pre-Chorus]

There appears to be a better way to deal with it

[Chorus]

I always seek the worst in everything

Served me okay up to now

I think you’re better off without

I always seek the worst in everything

Served me okay up to now

I think you’re better off without

[Bridge]

If you fear the worst will come your way

And guard against the brighter days

You’ll begin to bargain with yourself

So take a thought and live with that

You growing hypochondriac

Will never bet on anybody else

There appears to be a better way to deal with it

[Chorus]

I always seek the worst in everything

Served me okay up to now

I think you’re better off without

I always seek the worst in everything

Served me okay up to now

I think you’re better off without

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

I always seek the worst in everything

Served me okay up to now

I think you’re better off without
