Better Off This Way

I wonder if you’ll notice,

If they lock me up and throw away the key

Try to be open minded,

You’ve got a lot to learn in the ways of me

You always got to say something,

I’m none of your concern but you won't listen at all

You know I’d rather say nothing,

And just be proud of myself for tearing down these walls

.

When you fall I’ll be the only one who looks away

When you call I’ll be the first to tell you I can’t stay

It’s all over, I found a better way to help keep you from me

I’m better off this way

Woah-oh, woah-oh

I'm better off this way

Woah-oh, woah-oh

.

You gotta keep this coming,

Tell it like you know it but you don’t know nothing

Your call, we can settle this like gentlemen,

Or meet me out the back to end it all and start again

My whole life’s spent waiting,

Ever since I can remember been anticipating your fall,

And God let it be a long one

Can’t let go of my grudge till I know you’re done

.

When you fall I’ll be the only one who looks away

When you call I’ll be the first to tell you I can’t stay

It’s all over, I found a better way to help keep you from me

I’m better off this way

Woah-oh, woah-oh

I'm better off this way

Woah-oh, woah-oh

.

You want it, you’ve got It

You’ve always been such a waste of time

You want it, you’ve got It

A friend of yours is no friend of mine

You want it, you’ve got It

When will you act your age

You want it, you’ve got It

You’re the reason things have to change

.

Woah-oh, woah-oh

You’re the reason things have to change

Woah-oh, woah-oh

.

When you fall I’ll be the only one who looks away

When you call I’ll be the first to tell you I can’t stay

It’s all over, I found a better way to help keep you from me

I’m better off this way

Woah-oh, woah-oh

I’m better off this way

Woah-oh, woah-oh

I’m better off this way
