Restart

It was a Monday night
When you told me it was over, babe
And by the Friday night, I knew that I would be okay
Don't say it was a good thing
Don't say it was the right thing to do
Don't say it was the best thing for the both of us
When I'm the one playing the fool
What do you want from me when I just wanna restart
You keep coming back for me
When you're the one who tore us apart
The truth is I'm better on my own
And I don't want to live in the past
So let me restart
So let me restart
So let me restart
You've been lighting up my phone
Worried that I'll be alone tonight
Wanna make sure that I'm fine
But baby you're not on my mind, no more
I know it was the best thing for the both of us
'Cause you're the one who looks like a fool
What do you want from me when I just wanna restart
You keep coming back for me
When you're the one who tore us apart
The truth is I'm better on my own
And I don't want to live in the past
So let me restart
So let me restart
So let me restart
What do you want from me when I just wanna restart
You keep coming back for me
When you're the one who tore us apart
The truth is I'm better on my own
And I don't want to live in the past
So let me restart
So let me restart
(I don't want to live in the past)
So let me restart
So let me restart
So let me restart
