2. This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don’t know how it got so bad
Sometimes it’s so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it’s the only thing that I have
R: If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
G
That I’m better off on my own

3. I tried to be perfect
It just wasn’t worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It’s hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along
R: If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
G
That I’m better off on my own
