verse 1 don t mind if you treat me bad again i don t care anymore life s too short to make trouble out of small things it is better this way i m sort of laid back today close my ears when words come flying out i ve heard them all before with just a lot of hope flushing down the drain it is better this way i am going away chorus i tried and then some more instead of dragging the both of us down divide separate ways it s never easy this way it s never easy this way verse 2 my palms are sweating i m barely aware what i m turning down this awful life that is what i ve been told think it s better this way i will regret it one day chorus i tried and then some more instead of dragging the both of us down divide separate ways it s never easy this way it s never easy this way verse 3 talk too me throw the ball back i ve been here before there is no turning back talk to me just tell it like it is just two afraid souls going at each other at each other we re at the crossroad going separate ways time to say it as it is and if we bump into each other one day we ll be better then maybe we can start all over again yeahhh chorus i tried and then some more instead of dragging the both of us down divide separate ways it s never easy this way its never easy this way i tried and then some more instead of dragging the both of us down divide separate ways it s never easy this way it s never easy this way
