I tried to be perfect

But nothing was worth it

I don't believe it makes me real

I'd thought it'd be easy

But no on believes me

I left all the things that I said

If you believe it's in my soul

I'd say all the words that I know

Just to see if it would show

But I tried to let you know

That I'm better off on my own

This place is so empty

My thoughts are so tempting

I don't know how it got so bad

Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing could save me

But it's the only thing that I have

If you believe it's in my soul

I'd say all the words that I know

Just to see if it would show

But I tried to let you know

That I'm better off on my own

On my own!

I tried to be perfect

It just wasn't worth it

Nothing could ever be so wrong

It's hard to believe me

It never gets easy

I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it's in my soul

I'd say all the words that I know

Just to see if it would show

But I tried to let you know

That I'm better off on my own
