I had a lot that I thought I needed but
I'd give it up for you, give you all I got
It's time that I know it,
Packed up and I'm going
Back to where I came from
The place I got my name from
Though it won't be the same as it was in those years
I'm better off here
There's nothing wrong with the places I've been in
Nothing better, they're just a little different
But somethings missing, it wasn't really living
Won't miss the rush, the complication
I want the hush, the quiet inspiration
It's my life and I know it
I'm getting out and I'm going
Back to where I came from
Tlace I got my name from
Though it won't be the same as it was in those years
I'm better off here
It can't be the same as it was in those years
I'm better off here
What did you want me to be
It won't make a differance
It's not important to me
It won't make a differnance
And you can have your little world
But I'm finally clear I'm better off here
I had a lot I thought that I needed
Gave it up, now I'm leaving
It's my life and I know it
I'm getting out and I'm going
Back to where I came from
Tlace I got my name from
Though it won't be the same as it was in those years
I'm better off here
It can't be the same as it was in those years
I'm better off here

It takes a Glen Phillips penned Toad backed tune to so enigmatically describe every other breakup you've had.
This just never gets old.
