I tried to be perfect
But nothing 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


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 can 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
