How It Should Be

Lots and lots of girls
They walk around this world
They're lookin' for a boy
That'll help them find joy
Lots and lots of girls
They feel so worthless
They depend on him
To make them feel again
I don't want you 'cause I don't need you
And I felt today what it's like when you're away
I wanna tell you
I still don't miss you
So just get outta my way and take another sick day
Time to say goodbye 'cause you and I aren't meant to be
I feel free
I feel like me
That's how it should be
I don't like sports
I don't like board shorts
All the things that I said
Were just to get inside your head
I'm so sorry that I wasn't your perfect girl
Didn't meet your expectations
That you weren't my whole world
Time to say goodbye 'cause you and I aren't meant to be
I feel free
I feel like me
That's how it should be
