Story Behind The Song
A friend couldn't get rid of an unhealthy on again/off again relationship; he just couldn't tell her goodbye. I wrote this song as if I were in his shoes... what I would want him to say to her the next time she came knocking.

Lyrics
Come on baby don't you do me this way
I know what you're gonna say
Before you say it
You tell me that you're different, give me every cliche
Confess your uncertainty
You wanna make-up for the way you behaved
You think I'm lonely that I need to be saved
You give me your excuses
You were blind, now you see
Telling me that you're sorry
Well I can't be bothered to care this time
Just one to many of the same old rhyme
Already gone and leavin'
Sure as you feign your heart is bleedin'
I couldn't care less what the hell you do
You can close your eyes, pretend your dreamin'
Only foolin' yourself, honey believe it
They say I'm better these days and I'll admit it, too
It's me minus you
Kinda strange the things a'happening to me
Almost like I got this energy
Free of your pollution now I breathe easily
I dwell in my possibility
So I can't be bothered to care this time
You still got your head stuck-up where the sun don't shine
I'm Already gone and leavin'
Sure as you feign your heart is bleedin'
I couldn't care less what the hell you do
You can close your eyes, pretend your dreamin'
Only foolin' yourself, honey believe it
They say I'm better these days and I'll admit it, too
It's me minus you
Me minus you, hey, yeah yeah
You really think that I would take you back, well, here's what happens next, yeah
One more kiss and you're on your way with the best F you that I ever will say
I'm already gone and leavin'
Sure as you feign your heart is bleedin'
I couldn't care less what the hell you do
You can close your eyes, pretend your dreamin'
Only foolin' yourself, honey believe it
They say I'm better these days and I'll admit it, too
Hey, yeah
They say I'm better these days and I'll admit it, too
It's me minus you
Me minus you
They say I'm better these days
They say I'm better these days
They say I'm better these days and I'll admit it, too
I'm better these days
They say I'm better these days
I'm better these days and I'll admit it, too
It's me minus you.
