I wonder if you’ll notice
If they lock me up and throw away the key
Gotta be open minded
You’ve got a lot to learn in the ways of me
You’ve always got to say something
I’m none of your concern
But you won’t listen at all
You know I’d rather say nothing
And just be proud of myself
For tearing down these walls
When you fall I’ll be the only one who looks away
When you call I’ll be the first to tell you I can’t stay
It’s all over, I’ve found a better way
To help keep you from me
I’m better off this way
Whoa
Whoa
I’m better off this way
Whoa
Whoa
You gotta keep this coming, tell me like you know it
But you don’t know nothing, your call
We can settle this like gentlemen, or meet me at the back
To end it all inside again
My whole life’s been waiting, ever since I can remember
Been anxious awaiting your fall, and God let it be a long while
Can’t let go of my life ’till I know you’re done
When you fall I’ll be the only one who looks away
When you call I’ll be the first to tell you I can’t stay
It’s all over, I’ve found a better way
To help keep you from me
I’m better off this way
Whoa
Whoa
I’m better off this way
Whoa
Whoa
You want it, you’ve got it
You’ve always been such a waste of time
You want it, you’ve got it
A friend of yours is no friend of mine
You want it, you’ve got it
When will you act your age
You want it, you’ve got it
You’re the reason things have to change
Whoa
Whoa
You’re the reason things have to change
Whoa
Whoa
When you fall I’ll be the only one who looks away,
When you call I’ll be the first to tell you I can’t stay
It’s all over, I’ve found a better way
To help keep you from me
I’m better off this way
Whoa
Whoa
I’m better off this way
Whoa
Whoa
I’m better off this way
