[A single, heavily distorted guitar riff plays a slow, menacing melody, full of feedback and static. A heavy, stomping drum beat enters as the vocals begin.] [Verse 1] (Ahhh) I see you on my timeline, looking miserable and small Chasing cheap validation, praying for a fall The quiet little temper tantrums, the way you'd always lie (Ugh) I used to think that was a problem, now I just pass on by [Chorus] (Bet you're lonely, huh?) Now you're staring at the ceiling, wondering where I went (Owwww) You thought you’d find a winner, but you ended up with less You're so desperate for attention, you’d take anyone you can (Ahhhh-ha!) Just admit it to yourself, I was the better man [The entire band explodes into a wall of sound, with a chaotic guitar solo over pounding drums and a roaring bassline.] [Verse 2] (Pfft) I heard you're with that person you swore you never liked I guess you'll take whatever's left, another lonely night They chew with their mouth open and they've got nothing to say (Ewww) You're living out the life you told me you would throw away [Chorus] (Bet you miss me, huh?) Now you're staring at the ceiling, wondering where I went (Owwww) You thought you’d find a winner, but you ended up with less You're so desperate for attention, you’d take anyone you can (Ahhhh-ha!) Just admit it to yourself, I was the better man [The music cuts out, leaving only a single, ringing guitar feedback.] [Bridge] (spoken word, cynical and cold) You thought you broke me down, you thought you left me with the worst (Tch) But all you did was set me free from a never-ending curse So I hope you're happy with your mess, with all your self-inflicted pain Because you'll never find a single soul who'd ever love you again [A sudden, violent crash of cymbals and a single, low bass note. The guitar rejoins with an even more distorted sound.] [Outro] (Get out of my head) Yeah, I'm the better man (I'm the better man) Go on and find someone else to tear apart (a choked-out laugh, full of venom) (Owwww) [The music ends abruptly with a final, jarring chord, followed by a sound of a door slamming shut.]
