It's pretty much a break up song about two people who are tired of trying and want to end their relationship.
Whatever. This is brand new and I know I still have building and tweaking to do, so whatever you can think of.

Love Is Better When It’s Gone (Eb)
© December 5, 2014 Charlie Katt • www.charliekatt.com
Verse 1
(It) recently occurred to me
(When I) go outside and feel the breeze
There's an air of freedom when I close my eyes
(I) spread my arms, I lift my head
For once my soul’s not nearly dead
And my heart's is telling me to improvise
(But) when I’m home something in me dies
Verse 2
(I'm) tired of these burning eyes
(And) telling caref'lly scripted lies
(For) once I'd like to speak what's on my mind
(Or) take off runnin’ for a while
(Cause I’m) sick of how you never smile
(When) I come home, you don’t know how to be kind
Chorus 1
(Can) we at least just talk it out?
(So) let’s try not to scream and shout
You can drive this time, we’ll catch the sunset
(Cause) I’ve been worried for some time
(I’ve been) reasoning, I've been won’dring why
(We) don't get better though our love seemed strong
Maybe sometimes love is better when it’s gone
Verse 3
How can you and I exist
(If we) cannot even work through this
Do you care that all we had has disappeared?
(These) last few years I’ve been feelin’ down
(And) you don’t care a thing about it
(So) what the hell are we still doin’ here?
Chorus 2
(I) won’t feel guilty anymore
(I’ve been) bending backward, bending forward
Cryin’ night and day when you’re not watching
(But) now it’s time that you showed me
(What) real love is suppose to be
(And) stop me if you know that I am wrong
Maybe sometimes love is better when it’s gone
Bridge
I thought so hard about you
If I can live without you
The road we shouldn’t take
Is the one we’ll often choose
Verse 3
(It) recently occurred to me
(When I) go outside and feel the breeze
There's an air of freedom that I miss
Chorus 3
(So) maybe we can't work on it
(Maybe) we're both sick of all of it
(It) seems what works for some won't work for us
(It's) best that we start cleaning up
(This) place where love stopped showing up
(So) leave the hallway light on if you want
I think sometimes love is better when it’s gone
