Listening 3 (pieces by sum 41)

I tried to be perfect 

But nothing was worth it 

I don’t believe it makes me real 

I thought it’d be easy 

But no one believes me 

I meant all the things I said

If you believe it’s in my soul 

I’d say all the words that I know 

Just to see if it would show 

That I’m trying to let you know 

That I’m better off on my own

This place is so empty 

My thoughts are so tempting 

I don’t know how it got so bad 

Sometimes it’s so crazy 

That nothing can save me 

But it’s the only thing that I have

If you believe it’s in my soul 

I’d say all the words that I know 

Just to see if it would show 

That I’m trying to let you know 

That I’m better off on my own

On my own

I tried to be perfect 

It just wasn’t worth it 

Nothing could ever be so wrong 

It’s hard to believe me 

It never gets easy 

I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it’s in my soul 

I’d say all the words that I know 

Just to see if it would show 

That I’m trying to let you know 

That I’m better off on my own
