thinking back to times
before i started noticing
is it really selfish
i just want to be myself
you don't love me
the way i love you
too blind to see
it's sad but it's true
baby won't you let me know
did you see her
when you're looking at me
i'm not her shadow no more
so look at you now
i take a bow
thanks for all the lessons learned
showing me how
we would end up
play with fire you get burned
it's not that i don't care
but this love's beyond repair
so look at me now
i'm better on my own
i'm still hoping someday
maybe we can work it out
if you really want to
figure what it's all about
but you don't love me
the way i love you
too blind to see
it's sad but it's true
baby won't you let me know
oh did you see her
when you're looking at me
i'm not her shadow no more
so look at you now
i take a bow
thanks for all the lessons learned
showing me how
we would end up
play with fire you get burned
it's not that i don't care
but this love's beyond repair
so look at me now
yeah i'm better on my own
and maybe in another life
it could be you and i
cause we could try a hundred thousand times again
so look at you now
i take a bow
thanks for all the lessons learned
showing me how
we would end up
play with fire you get burned
it's not that i don't care
but this love's beyond repair
so look at me now
yeah i'm better on my own
now i'm better on my own
