Better Off

{Verse 1]
Just build me up so you can tear me down
You're a broken record that keeps on spinning around
And there's only so much that I can take
Only so much before I start to break
I always hoped it wouldn't come to this

[Chorus]
Whether you like it or not
I can't be the one to stay
How can I keep standing here when you're pushing me away
Whether you like it or not
It couldn't happen any other way
But go ahead and tell yourself that you're better off anyway
That you're better off anyway

[Verse 2]
We both know you won't admit you're wrong
Keeping score like it's a game, and I'm not playing along
And there's only so much that I can take
Only so much before I start to break
I think you're finally catching on to it

[Chorus]
Whether you like it or not
I can't be the one to stay
How can I keep standing here when you're pushing me away
Whether you like it or not
It couldn't happen any other way
But go ahead and tell yourself that you're better off anyway

[Bridge]
I see you thought you'd make a go of it
You never know when to quit
When you're up against the wall
I see you thought you'd make a go of it
You never know when to quit
When you're up against the wall

[Chorus]
Whether you like it or not
I can't be the one to stay
How can I keep standing here when you're pushing me away
Whether you like it or not
It couldn't happen any other way
But go ahead and tell yourself that you're better off anyway
That you're better off anyway
That you're better off anyway
