I think I was better off before this all began   So clearly I can see lately that you don't know who I am   Everybody tried to tell me something that I never could believe   Staring back it seemed so much different than it did in front of me      But I know there's no good in looking back on yesterday   And wondering what could have happened then      You think you can give me what I want   You say   (You say)   You say   I think I'm better off alone   These days   (These days)   These days      Why should I put my trust in something that I never could believe   So one day you can find something better   Just to pack your things and leave   Loneliness is a friend for the moment but you won't walk out on me      But I know there's no good in looking back on yesterday   And wondering what could have happened then      You think you can give me what I want   You say   (You say)   You say   I think I'm better off alone   These days   (These days)   These days      I'm tired and I'm sick of waiting, maybe I'll die alone   'Cause I can't take another damn day of waiting here for you   To come home to me   Yeah, yeah, baby, baby please tell me why      You think you can give me what I want   You say   (You say)   You say   I think I'm better off alone   These days   (These days)   These days      You think you can give me what I want   You say   (You say)   You say   I think I'm better off alone   These days   (These days)   These days
