(Beat: Upbeat, acoustic ukulele strumming transitions into a fast, punchy 808 pop-rap drum loop)[Intro]Yeah, yeahMm-mm, here we go againTurn the lights downListen[Chorus]Things are better off this wayWish you never ever knew my nameWish I never said hi 'cause you got really cute eyesI don't wanna cut ties just to kiss your faceThings are better this wayGet out of my brain, I'm out of my laneI'm not playing this gameI know I'll be fine, I can tell you tell liesAnd I hope you don't mind that I turn away'Cause you'll just do it againAnd you'll fuck all my friends, and you'll just fuck with my headAnd I tried and I tried, but I was left dead inside[Verse 1]Check it, look at what you did to me, treating me like historyActing like our chemistry was nothing but a mysteryI packed up all my baseline feelings in a suitcaseNow I'm running laps, trying to find myself a new paceYou were toxic from the jump, but I ignored the warning signsLooking at your pictures, trying to read between the linesNow my phone is on silent, screen looking violentYou call a hundred times but I'm keeping my environment clearYeah, I'm over the noise, I am over the stressYou left my heart and my bedroom looking like a total messBut I'm picking up the pieces, moving on to better daysThrowing out your sweaters and blocking you in fifty ways[Chorus]Things are better off this wayWish you never ever knew my nameWish I never said hi 'cause you got really cute eyesI don't wanna cut ties just to kiss your faceThings are better this wayGet out of my brain, I'm out of my laneI'm not playing this gameI know I'll be fine, I can tell you tell liesAnd I hope you don't mind that I turn away'Cause you'll just do it againAnd you'll fuck all my friends, and you'll just fuck with my headAnd I tried and I tried, but I was left dead inside[Verse 2]Yeah, you love to play the victim when you know that you're the villainEating up my energy while you are out here chillingI gave you every single ounce of trust I had to offerNow I'm staring at the map trying to see how I can drop herOut of my life, out of my sight, no more fighting at nightI used to think that you were always in the rightBut the wool pulled off my eyes and the truth finally hitsYou're just checking off a list of everyone you can manipulateI'm done with the games, done with the painWalking out the door and I'm catching my trainYou can keep the memories, I'll take my pride'Cause there's nothing left for you to destroy inside[Bridge](Beat drops out, just a soft synth and light tapping)I was left dead inside, yeah, you took it allStaring at the ceiling waiting for your callBut the phone never rang, and the truth came outNow I'm screaming your name just to spit it outYeah, I spit it out, now I'm letting it go...(Beat builds back up rapidly)One, two, three, let the bass line blow![Chorus]Things are better off this wayWish you never ever knew my nameWish I never said hi 'cause you got really cute eyesI don't wanna cut ties just to kiss your faceThings are better this wayGet out of my brain, I'm out of my laneI'm not playing this gameI know I'll be fine, I can tell you tell liesAnd I hope you don't mind that I turn away'Cause you'll just do it againAnd you'll fuck all my friends, and you'll just fuck with my headAnd I tried and I tried, but I was left dead inside[Outro]Left dead inside...But I'm waking up nowYeah, things are better off this wayGoodbye.(Ukulele chords fade out with a final vinyl scratch effect)
