Verse 1:
I'm trying to sleep
But this pain in my chest
It's keeping me awake
And every breath I take
Feels like it's my last
I want to be fine
I want to be sure
I want to be a lot of things
And none of them include you
Refrain:
I keep telling myself
I'm not miserable
(hold)
I keep telling myself
I'm better off without you
Chorus 1:
I believed that you meant
everything you said
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
For the pain and lies
Every time I had to cry
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
Verse 2:
I don't understand
Because it doesn't make sense
The way you broke it off
Took away my heart
Took away all my friends
I want to go out
And get out of this house
But to begin again is gonna take more
than I think I'd ever have to give
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
I believe that I was
so cleverly deceived
By good looks, some charm
and a brilliant lie
All the time that was spent
being used I should have said
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
Bridge:
I want to know why
you're such an idiot
I want to know how you
can even live with it
I want to know why I
should even give a damn
About you missing me so terribly
Verse 3:
I'm starting to sleep a
little easier now
Now that I'm over this
And I've made up my mind to
never fall in love again
With someone like you
someone so confused
I just wish I would have realized
(hold)
that a long, long time before I had...
(Repeat Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)
Outro:
I believed that you meant
everything you said
Goodbye and thanks for the memories
