Better Off, Pop/Rock - Lyric Critique

by Alissa
(Canada)

Hey, so right now with this song i've been playing it with an acoustic guitar. I've been detating speeding it up and turning it into more of a pop/rock sort of vibe, let me know what you think! thanks.
Also, let me know what you think of using the same pre-chorus twice, does it fit or do you think it'd be better if i changed it up.



One wrong turn, one mis-step,
Can lead you down the road to regret.
I don’t know how you got there so fast,
But you are in my past.


What you do, it’s not up to me,
It’s you and your ‘so called’ responsibilities.
That led you away from me,


I don’t care if
You come back.
I’ll be better off without you,
I’m stayin’ on this track,
It’s a one way road, no turnin’ back.
Closin’ my eyes, not makin’ it last,
Cause you,
You,
Will never be apart of me again.


You’re out on my doorstep, down on your knees.
Leavin’ me voicemails, beggin’ to
Please pick up, but you know me better than that.
Cause I’m not givin’ up. You Made Your Descision.


What you do, it’s not up to me,
It’s you and your ‘so called’ responsibilities.
That led you away from me.


I don’t care if
You come back.
I’ll be better off without you,
I’m stayin’ on this track,
It’s a one way road, no turnin’ back.
Closin’ my eyes, not makin’ it last,
Cause you,
You,
Will never be apart of me again.


Trying to impress me, you won’t achieve.
You’re at the bottom of my list, you can’t be redeemed.
Love is not a game, you made your bet.
Learnt your lesson the hard way, that’s a matter of fact.
I can’t hold myself back,
For someone like you.


I don’t care if
You come back.
I’ll be better off without you,
I’m stayin’ on this track,
It’s a one way road, no turnin’ back.
Closin’ my eyes, not makin’ it last,
Cause you,
You,
Will never be apart of me again.

Never be apart of me again,
Never be apart of me again,
No,oooh.
