I never knew I was fallin' apart
'til I was picking up the pieces of
my broken heart off the floor
guess I don't need them anymore

been kickin' round all the things that you said
but now I know the time has come to
kick you out of my head, I'm a fool
but you won't fool me anymore

I'm sittin' smokin' wonderin' why the
hell we're broken cause I know you
wasn't jokin' when you said that you
was chokin' on this love
that you don't love me anymore
you said

goodbye
don't cry
it's gonna be alright
you'll see
we'll be
better this way
better this way

I never thought that I'd see you again
but when you stood out on my porch I
had to let you in through my door
surprised to find you wantin' more

the memories started slippin' away and I
don't know if it's tomorrow now or
yesterday like before
I can't remember anymore

I'm sittin' drinkin' wonderin' why the
hell we're sinkin' as I stare at you I'm
blinkin' tryna to see what you were
thinkin' when you said
that you don't love me anymore
you said

goodbye
don't cry
it's gonna be alright
you'll see
we'll be
better this way
better this way

and you could never lose
what you never had
happily ever after
wound up short and sad
don't know where you are
don't know what to say
don't know how you think
it's really better this way

I never knew I was fallin' apart
