[Verse 1]

I tried to be perfect, but nothin' was worth it

I don't believe it makes me real

I thought it'd be easy, but no one believes me

I meant all the things I said

[Chorus]

If you believe it's in my soul

I'd say all the words that I know

Just to see if it would show

That I'm tryin' to let you know

That I'm better off on my own

[Verse 2]

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 can save me

But it's the only thing that I have

[Chorus]

If you believe it's in my soul

I'd say all the words that I know

Just to see if it would show

That I'm tryin' to let you know

That I'm better off on my own

[Interlude]

(On my own)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

If you believe it's in my soul

I'd say all the words that I know

Just to see if it would show

That I'm tryin' to let you know

That I'm better off on my own
