The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Like cigarettes & alcohol

Baby you're my downfall

Dressed up in a pretty blue shirt

Damn, you're really gonna hurt me

Hate it when you don't call

Warning signals all along

Flowers dying deep in the dirt

Damn, you're really gonna hurt

Oh, fell really hard for you

You're breaking my heart in two

But I knew all along

And I still played along

Oh, fell really hard for you

You're so damn predictable

I knew all along, oh

Only you can make me feel like I'm the prettiest in the room

But then you make me feel invisible

I'm better when I'm

Hanging at the party with your friends

They think I'm cool

But you show up and make me feel so small

I'm better when you're gone

I'm better, better

I'm better when you're gone

So much better, better

I'm better when you're gone

I'm better, better

I'm better when you're gone

So much better, better

I'm better when you're gone

Left my clothes at your house

You can go and throw 'em out

Laying in a pretty blue shirt

Only makes me think about

Selective memories, I'll forget all the bad ones

Like I'm seventeen, I'll believe you're a good one

The reality is your love is my poison, I

I still can't believe that

Oh, fell super hard for you

You broke my heart in two

But I knew all along, oh

Only you can make me feel like I'm the prettiest in the room

But then you make me feel invisible

I'm better when I'm

Hanging at the party with your friends

They think I'm cool

But you show up and make me feel so small

I'm better when you're gone

I'm better, better

I'm better when you're gone

So much better, better

I'm better when you're gone

I'm better, better

I'm better when you're gone

So much better, better

I'm better when you're gone

Only you can make me feel like I'm the prettiest in the room

But then you make me feel invisible

I'm better when I'm

Hanging at the party with your friends

They think I'm cool

But you show up and make me feel so small

I'm better when you're gone
