LISTENING 3 ( pieces )

I tried to be perfect 
But nothing was worth it 
I don’t believe it makes me real 
I thought it’d be easy 
But no one believes me 
I meant all the things I said

If you believe it’s in my soul 
I’d say all the words that I know 
Just to see if it would show 
That I’m trying to let you know 
That I’m better off on my own

This place is so empty 
My thoughts are so tempting 
I don’t know how it got so bad 
Sometimes it’s so crazy 
That nothing can save me 
But it’s the only thing that I have

If you believe it’s in my soul 
I’d say all the words that I know 
Just to see if it would show 
That I’m trying to let you know 
That I’m better off on my own

On my own

I tried to be perfect 
It just wasn’t worth it 
Nothing could ever be so wrong 
It’s hard to believe me 
It never gets easy 
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it’s in my soul 
I’d say all the words that I know 
Just to see if it would show 
That I’m trying to let you know 
That I’m better off on my own
