Never Better

I know, I know,
You're gone away,
Just go, just go,
I feel better this way.
You know, you know,
Hearts always change,
Just know, just know,
To me it's all the same.
You know the hardest part to me is letting go,
Of all the things you did and the harshest words you spoke,
And how you picked me up to knock me down, over and over again,
And how you tricked me into breaking down and trusting you again.
I know, I know,
You're full of shame,
Just go, just go,
There's nothing you can say.
I know, I know,
Your mind has changed,
Just know, just know,
I'm finished with this game.
You know the hardest part to me is letting go,
Of all the things you did and the harshest words you spoke,
And how you picked me up to knock me down, over and over again,
And how you tricked me into breaking down and trusting you again.
I'm holding strong,
Never better,
I know you're wrong,
I'm a good forgetter,
And you,
You know it's true,
I must admit that,
I've not been blue,
And I'm better without you.
You know the hardest part to me is letting go,
Of all the things you did and the harshest words you spoke,
And how you picked me up to knock me down, over and over again,
And how you tricked me into breaking down and trusting you again.

I've got a list of things I want to say to you,
My mouth has been shut so long that I'm turning blue,
Sometimes it's like my lips have been super-glued,
Always when I try to make a move on you.
I'll never say that I want to be more than friends,
I'll sit here and obey my stupid silent trend,
If only you knew all the time that I have spent,
You would see that to me you'd be a rad girlfriend.
(I never seem) to find my strength,
(I can't tell you) it's so hard,
To find you and tell you, my tongue gets tied,
Every time I try.
I sit in sorrow,
Wait for tomorrow.
I'll never get the guts to tell you how I feel,
Everything about you has so much appeal,
Maybe it's high time I let it be revealed,
To me everything you do is so unreal.
(I never seem) to find my strength,
(I can't tell you) it's so hard,
To find you and tell you, my tongue gets tied,
Every time I try.
I sit in sorrow,
Wait for tomorrow.
And in my dreams, I find you there,
You welcome me, arms in air.
If you could see, you'd smile I swear,
I want to be with you somewhere.
(I never seem) to find my strength,
(I can't tell you) it's so hard,
To find you and tell you, my tongue gets tied,
Every time I try.
I sit in sorrow,
Wait for tomorrow.

I won't pretend that I'm upset,
That you're finally leaving me.
It doesn't really get me down,
'cause in myself I now believe.
I tell my friends that I'm okay,
I've never seen a better day.
It doesn't really hurt inside,
To know that you're not missing me.
What is there for me to miss,
Everything's alright,
My life without you's totally bliss,
Such a delight.
I hope you know that I don't care,
Don't apologize,
It's good enough to know that I'll never cry,
Over you.
I won't pretend to be all mad,
Now you're gone, just leave me be.
I was never feeling bad,
I'm just so glad that you left me.
I don't want to be your friend,
It's finally over, it's the end.
Don't tell me not to be cold,
You don't have control of me.
What is there for me to miss,
Everything's alright,
My life without you's totally bliss,
Such a delight.
I hope you know that I don't care,
Don't apologize,
It's good enough to know that I'll never cry,
Over you.
(I'm not down), over you,
(I'm good now), it's true.
(I look around), through you.
(I'm not down), I'm not scared to say.
What is there for me to miss,
Everything's alright,
My life without you's totally bliss,
Such a delight.
I hope you know that I don't care,
Don't apologize,
It's good enough to know that I'll never cry,
I'm over you.
I'm over you.

Kicking the Habit

You froze my heart, you knocked me down.
You threw me in the lost and found.
You battered me for a year and a day,
But I still took you anyway.
You ate my money, you wrecked my car,
You're the meanest, cruellest fix by far.
You made me feel like I don't belong,
Now you look at me like I've done wrong.
Looking up,
Without you by my side.
Won't bring me down,
At least I know I tried.
Growing up,
It ain't an easy ride.
But I'm kicking the habit and I won't lie.
I'll live my life the way I choose,
I'm not walking in another's shoes.
I'm not bowing down any longer,
You damaged me but now I'm stronger.
I'll keep my feet right on the ground,
Not looking up 'cause all around,
Are things much lovelier than you,
So what do you think I'm gonna do?
Looking up,
Without you by my side.
Won't bring me down,
At least I know I tried.
Growing up,
It ain't an easy ride.
But I'm kicking the habit and I won't lie.
You didn't think I had the guts,
To draw the line and make the final cut.
But now I'm gone, the end's official,
I'm tired of being superficial.
I'm kicking the habit, I've had enough.
Looking up,
Without you by my side.
Won't bring me down,
At least I know I tried.
Growing up,
It ain't no easy ride.
But I'm kicking the habit and I won't lie.
I said I'm kicking the habit and I won't lie.
I'm breaking the habit, I won't cry.

Better Than Okay

I think it's time I let this show,
If you're thinking of me let me know,
I really hate to see you go.
When my spirit's falling down,
You pick me right up off the ground,
Yeah you know without you I would drown.
Even when my heart is breaking,
I see the time you're taking.
Yeah you bring me up when I am down.
I never feel alone when I'm thinking of you,
I always feel at home when I spend time with you.
How'd I ever make it so long without you here to stay?
All I know is you're why I feel better than good,
So much better than okay.
Late nights out walking in the dark,
We'd paint the town and make our mark,
All we really need's a spark.
Even when my body's tired,
When I'm with you I'm wired.
On my mind, you've left a mark.
I never feel alone when I'm thinking of you,
I always feel at home when I spend time with you.
How'd I ever make it so long without you here to stay?
All I know is you're why I feel better than good,
So much better than okay.
You and me are happy in my head,
Please help me make it real instead,
Please tell me I've not been misled.
I never feel alone when I'm thinking of you,
I always feel at home when I spend time with you.
How'd I ever make it so long without you here to stay?
All I know is you're why I feel better than good,
So much better than okay.
All I know is you're why I feel better than good,
So much better than okay.

Like You

Yeah, it's just another Friday night,
And I've got nothing to do.
I'm a loser, but make no mistake,
I'm better off than you.
Sure it's boring here inside my head,
There's never something new,
Hope I never get stuffed to the brim,
Full of shit like you.
Don't want to be like you,
Because you look so fucking typical.
I hope you get it through,
Your thick head that you're delusional.
It shines right through,
That you know you're not invincible.
Call off your troops,
'Cause you know it's not the truth,
And there's no use.
Yeah, I'll spend another Friday night,
Here with nothing left to do.
I'm still a loser and I'll never change,
I'll never be like you.
It's still boring here inside my head,
Yeah, what else is new?
I get my kicks from watching stupid shit,
You put yourself through.
Don't want to be like you,
Because you look so fucking typical.
I hope you get it through,
Your thick head that you're delusional.
It shines right through,
That you know you're not invincible.
Call off your troops,
'Cause you know it's not the truth,
And there's no use.
Don't want to be like you,
Because you look so fucking typical.
Don't want to be like you,
'Cause I won't pretend that I'm miserable.
Don't want to be like you,
Because your whole damn life is fictional.
Don't want to be like you,
Because this whole charade is pitiful.
Don't want to be like you,
Because you look so fucking typical.
Don't want to be like you,
'Cause I won't pretend that I'm miserable.
Don't want to be like you,
Because your whole damn life is fictional.
Don't want to be like you,
Because you know it's not the truth,
And there's no use.
