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 That I'm trying 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 That I'm trying 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 That I'm trying to let you know That I'm better off on my own
