I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I donâ€TMt believe it makes me real
Iâ€TMd thought itâ€TMd be easy
But no on believes me
I meant all the things that I said

If you believe itâ€TMs in my soul
Iâ€TMd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That Iâ€TMm better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I donâ€TMt know how it got so bad
Sometimes itâ€TMs so crazy that nothing could save me
But itâ€TMs the only thing that I have

If you believe itâ€TMs in my soul
Iâ€TMd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That Iâ€TMm better off on my own

(On my own!)

I tried to be perfect
It just wasnâ€TMt worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
Itâ€TMs hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe itâ€TMs in my soul
Iâ€TMd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That Iâ€TMm better off on my own
