lyrics

Being Alone

Well I’m done with trying to call you
And I’m tired from talking this way.
If I seem cold and ungrateful
I’m sorry, but I just can’t play your games today.

Well I’ve tried to change for the better,
Now I’m done pretending to care.
And if I seem rude and defensive
I’m sorry, but there’s too much broken to repair.

I know you’re sat there listening
To this disembodied voice,
Feeling hurt and angry
But you leave me no real other choice.

Well I can’t lie any longer
And I just despise all your friends.
When you said you’d love me forever
I knew this day would come when it would end.

And I know we had some good times,
But they very soon will fade.
If you’ll just pick up the phone now
Maybe I’ll be able to explain.

Well I’m bad at making excuses
And I can’t bear long goodbyes.
But if you want you can call me tomorrow
Or wipe this message off to sever all ties.

I know you’re sat there listening
In the darkness by the phone.
You’ll be better off without me.
You’re better off being alone.
