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
