lyrics

Every time I think I'm feeling better,
I feel better off alone.
I'm better off alone.

Every time I go out thinking,
"this could be the night",
I change my tone.
I'm better off at home.

I'm better off alone.
I'm better off at home.

'Cause I don't want to be here.
I don't want to see you
have the time of your life,
the time of your life.
And I just want to let go,
but you had me from the get go.
Have the time of your life,
the time of your life without me.

Every time I feel like giving up
you always seem to change my mind.
It happens every time.

And every time I think we're going forward
we start going in rewind.
It happens every time.

It happens every time.
And so I'll change my mind.

I don't want to be here.
I don't want to see you
have the time of your life,
the time of your life.
And I just want to let go,
but you had me from the get go.
Have the time of your life,
the time of your life without me.

Without me.
Without me.
The time of your life without me.
