No Below Lyrics
You didn't know me when you were a kid
In trouble at school, alone at lunch again
I didn't know you when I broke my knee
Spent the summer on crutches and everybody tears
Except for this one friend I almost forgot
You didn't know me but he knew best
The weight of my primal, the fear of my cold head
You never saw me but turn in the eyes
My friends I don't know but you couldn't me throw me out right
So I got ditch freezing, alone with my thoughts
And they always said I was better off as being dead
Better off as being dead, without my all friends
They always said I was better off as being dead
But I didn't know you yet
You didn't know me but you got cold, too
And your mind was heavy and you thought you might lose it
With everything fucked up, we both fell before
I'm glad for it all if it got us where we are
With you in the boat there, I almost forgot

How I would say I was better off as being dead
Better off as being dead, I didn't know you yet
And you might've said you were better off as being dead
But I'm looking out for you, my friend, look out
I didn't know you when you were a kid
But swimming with you, it sure feels like I did
