I understand your point of view
                                       
Letting me go but I thought you had more faith
           
Everything I've done for you
                                                 
You made the mistakes and now you throw this in my face
           
And I have worked so hard for you
                                    
All of this time and you cast me asi...de
                               
I understand your point of vi...ew


                          
But I can't seem to get me head around
                                        
All the things that I feel good about
                       
Always seem to disappear
                                   
And everytime I think I've got this all worked out
                          
Something chews me up and spits me out
                            
But there's nothing left to fear
              
I'm better alone my dear


                                
You couldn't pick a better time to give me the news
                              
Why don't you kick me when I'm down?
           
I'd always believed in you
                                       
Defended your name but you have not been true
           
I gave you so much of my life 
                                     
I've compromised and you tell me goodbye
                             
You couldn't pick a better ti...me


                          
And I can't seem to get me head around
                                        
All the things that I feel good about
                       
Always seem to disappear
                                   
And everytime I think I've got this all worked out
                          
Something chews me up and spits me out
                            
But there's nothing left to fear
              
I'm better alone my de...ar


                             
I know I really should thank you for setting me free
                            
It's really amazing the changes I'm starting to feel
                       
It's not gonna be long, till I'm fit and strong
                    
Deliverance helped me heal
                                         
Still I wonder if you ever wish you still had m...e


                      
Will I ever get my head around
                           
All the things that I feel good about 
                        
That always seem to disappear
                                    
When every time I think I've got this all worked out
                          
Something chews me up and spits me out
                            
But there's nothing left to fear (No, no, no)


                       
I can't seem to get my head around
                           
All the things that I feel good about
                        
That always seem to disappear (No, no)
                                   
And every time I think I've got this figured out
                           
Something screws me up and drags me down
                         
But there's nothing left to fear
              
I'm better alone my dear
