I tried to be perfect    but nothing was worth it.    I don't believe it makes me real.    I thought it'd be easy    but no one believes me.    I meant all the things I said.    If you'd believe it's in my soul,    I'd say all the words that I know    just to see if it would show.    Now I'm trying to let you know    that I'm better off on my own.       This place is so empty.    My thoughts are so tempting.    I don't know how it got so bad.    Sometimes it's so crazy    but nothing can save me    but it's the only thing that I have.    If you'd believe it's in my soul,    I'd say all the words that I know    just to see if it would show.    Now I'm trying to let you know    that I'm better off on my own.       I tried to be perfect,    it just wasn't worth it.    Nothing could ever be so wrong.    It's hard to believe me.    It never gets easy.    I guess I knew that all along.    If you'd believe it's in my soul,    I'd say all the words that I know    just to see if it would show.    Now I'm trying to let you know    that I'm better off on my own.
