Sentimentality Fails Lyrics

I may seem too sentimental but I've grown fond of you

The days we spent were soft and easy

Little did I know

There was a mean streak buried underneath that I was soon to meet

I let down all of my defenses and laid them at your feet

You took all you could carry then you ran right for the door

Once I thought that I was over it's when you came back for more

You said you still loved me but I really should have known

I was better on my own

I was better on my own

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

Whether it be false or it be true

The day I met you I should have known that I was better on my own

It's always the same when you come around

You turn my whole world upside down

There isn't a safe place I can run

Remembering all the things you've done

You tell me a story

I hear your words

All of it totally absurd

Face to face or on the phone

I wish you'd just leave me alone

I tell you that I'm done with this but you don't know what I mean

You tell me that you've changed your ways but it's not quite what it seems

You say you still love me but I really should have known

I was better on my own

I was better on my own

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

Whether it be false or it be true

The day I met you I should have known that I was better on my own

I was better on my own

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

No matter what you say (I was better on my own)

No matter what you do

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

No matter what you say (I was better on my own)

No matter what you do

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

Whether it be false or it be true (I was better on my own)

The day I met you I should have known that I was better on my own
