lyrics

so carry on with yourself

you’ll be better off w/ somebody else… anybody else

and i guess i’ve always known

that i’m better off on my own

chorus:

but all of this honesty

it never pays out for me

like every indication that this was gonna work

i shoulda lied through my teeth

to avoid all the hurt but like a jerk

oh i stayed behind

and tried to be a father

without remembering mine

and that’s why i

stay…

well it’s come to my attention

oh that this is all my fault

so if i can make one suggestion

‘cause i can see right through your thoughts

stay away from fools

‘cause i'm a fool w/ a simple mind

and i can be so cruel

when i take comfort in my lies

chorus:

but they never pay out for me

like every indication that this was gonna work

i shoulda lied through my teeth

to avoid all the hurt but like a jerk

oh i stayed behind

and tried to be a father

but this time remembering mine

and that’s why i

stay…

but you couldn’t

stay
