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 



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
