lyrics

I thought I would be better off with you
I saw us in a picture that you drew
I knew you really cared for me
Put up with me incessantly, it’s true
that I thought I would be better off with you

I thought changing your mind would be a breeze
Cause usually a smile and saying please
Can tear down some boys strongest stance
You didn’t want my second chance with ease
Still I thought changing your mind would be a breeze

I thought I could hold on for the whole year
but you couldn’t drive and I was scared to steer
You say and do just what you want
and it won’t make me fulfilled because you’ll never know what I want to hear
Though I thought I could hold on for the whole year

I thought pouring my heart would work out
Speak confidently, no wavers and no doubt
I said my lines but as expected
You heard my words but weren’t effected by what it was about
But I thought pouring my heart would work out

I thought giving you space would make us friends
You’d want a new beginning, not an end
Even if i’ve got two words to say
You see me and you walk away like we can’t amend
But I thought giving you space would make us friends

I thought I would be better off with you
But now I see it from your point of view
you will never get the emotions i send
it’s way too much for you to comprehend
I shouldn’t have to tell you that I’m through
I know I will be better without you
