I never knew perfection till, I heard you speak

And now it kills me just to hear you say the simple things

Now waking up is hard to do, sleeping's impossible too

And everything's reminding me of you

What can I do?

It's not right, not okay

Say the words that you say

Maybe we're better off this way

I'm not fine, I'm in pain

It's harder everyday

Maybe we're better off this way

It's better that we break

A fool to let you slip away

I'd chase you just to hear you say

You're scared, and that you think that I'm insane

City looks so nice from here

Pity I can't see it clearly

While you're standing there it disappears

It disappears

It's not right, not okay

Say the words that you say

Maybe we're better off this way

I'm not fine, I'm in pain

It's harder everyday

Maybe we're better off this way

It's better that we break

Saw you sitting all alone

You're fragile and you're cold

But that's alright

Love these days is getting rough

It knocks you down, then beats you up

But it's just a roller coaster anyway

It's not right, not okay

Say the words that you say

Maybe we're better off this way

I'm not fine, I'm in pain

It's harder everyday

Maybe we're better off this way

It's not fine, not okay

Say the words that you say

Maybe we're better off this way

I'm not fine, I'm in pain

It's harder everyday

Maybe we're better off this way

It's better that we break, baby
