I never gave a reason Of why I didn't call Now I've grown so tired Of lying to myself It cannot go unsaid I regret what they know Don't think it's all been a waste of time Are you better off alone? Stop lying to yourself I regret what was said I deny what they know Are you better off alone? Those that we admired All stood their ground and cried I didn't start the fire I just tried to see your eyes It cannot go unsaid I only want you to know I think it's all going to Work out fine Are we Better Off Alone (you better off alone?) Than lying to ourselves Who cares what they've said? Who cares what they know? Are we better off alone I know that my love I'll send Could we still be friends? But this is the end I think it's all going to work out fine We're better off alone (You better off alone) Than lying to ourselves I regret what you say I don't care what I know Don't say it's all been a waste of time Are you better off alone (send my love) Stop lying to yourself (send my love) It cannot go unsaid (send my love) I only want you to know (to yooou) It cannot go unsaid, I only want you to know, I think it's all going to work out fine.
