Now I don't mean to say I dislike you
Cause you know that just isn't true
But I think I made a huge mistake
When I fell in love with you
Bruises on my heart
From all the times you decided to pick it apart
Although we were a work of art for some time
You were the only thing to make the sun shine
Oh, I knew it just wasn't right
Maybe I'm better on my own
Don't gotta wait for you, to pick up the phone
No one to let me down
When I expect too much
Think I'm better on my own
Better on my own
Better on my own
You never took the time
To learn of all the different things I like
Like my favorite color, favorite movie, favorite book
Or favorite flower
Did it ever even cross your mind?
And I used to write so many letters
That I never dared to send
In fear of how they'd impact you
So I just kept them all to myself
And sometimes I re-read what I wrote for you
Thought you the sweetest in the world yet you had not a clue
But it was never meant to last
Time to put it in the past
Maybe I'm better on my own
(On my own)
Don't gotta wait for you, to pick up the phone
No one to let me down
(You let me down)
When I expect too much
(I expected far too much)
Think I'm better on my own
Better on my own
Better on my own
