[Intro]

"Yeah. I can't keep lying to myself any more. Maybe I'm just better off without you, since, you don't really seem to care all that much about me. Yeah."


[Hook]

Tell me...

Why I'm wasting my time

When you are never there

I see you don't really care

So maybe...

I'm better off on my own

I'll make my way back home

Rather than keep waiting


[Verse 1]

Used to be so close

Now you're a person I don't know

Now I realise things aren't meant to last

So I'll let us go and drift right apart

Never wanted to be startin' shit

Whеn you acted out like a narcissist

Insisting that you werе my friend

When really, you were playing pretend

You say you love me, but I think you're bluffin'

You only call me when you're needing something

Been so long since you called just to check up

Anything for our friendship to develop

Now I'm starting to clearly see:

You don't give a single fuck about me

Thinkin' of times where your mood sent me under

Feelin' miserable, then I start to wonder-


[Hook]


[Verse 2]

Nowadays I'm in a better place

No longer do I feel like a disgrace

I've realised an honest truth:

That I'm better without you

Happier with some new friends

You'll waste away 'till your life ends

Since you've been gone, I live life hearty

Might just go out, get drunk at a party

Mixin' the vodka and gin, too

You text me sayin' "I miss, you"

But I can see through the lies this time

I'm hopin' that you cry at night

Over the missed opportunities

While I'm here in these communities

With all of these people that truly care

Instead of you, since you're never there


[Hook]
