I wanna listen, but I can't sit still
Just quiet and calm, but I guess I never will
I could go, but I won't

Too many rules to tie a man down
Don't know what to do, 'cause it just wears me out
I could break, but I won't

The stars on my arm remind me of you
Why did they have to? Why did they leave so soon?
I could cry, but I won't

Sometimes you're better off without me
Sometimes you're better off alone, mmm

I wanna run, but I can barely breathe
My head is full with thoughts that I don't need
I wish I'd let them all go

So much to do, but I'm on my way
So many songs to sing, so many things to say
So many reasons to know

Sometimes you're better off without me
Sometimes you're better off alone
I want you to stay here with me
'Cause tomorrow maybe you'll be gone
Maybe you'll be gone 

Sometimes you're better off without me
Sometimes you're better off alone
I want you to stay here with me
'Cause tomorrow maybe you'll be gone
Maybe you'll be gone 
Maybe you'll be gone
