I can't tell you when to breathe girl

You got to do it on your own

You can't tell me what i need girl

'Cause i need to be alone

Yeah you can sit and cry

And i'll just wonder why

I let this love of ours start to lose cotrol

So while i walk away, I've just got one thing to say

Girl you'd be better off alone

It all started out so nice girl

You had your place and i had mine

But it twisted and entwined girl

You waved you hand, i jumped in time

But now I've had enough,

Just leave before it gets too tough

We're better to have loved then travelled on alone

So while i walk away, I've just got one thing to say

Girl you'd be better off alone

Yeah i know that you're feeling sad girl

But your feelngs are your own

Maybe I'm just going mad girl

But I might drink until you've gone

Hell what's the use of pain?

There's nothing left that we can gain

Let's just sever ties, no excuses or long goodbyes

So until we meet again

Don't find yourself another friend

Girl you'd be better off alone
