  • Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
    And we notice you don't come around
    Me, I think it all depends on you
    Touching ground with us but

    I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else
    It seems
    And I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else
    It seems

    And being alone is the, is the best way to be
    When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
    When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
    When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye

    Everything is temporary anyway
    When the streets are wet, the colors slip into the sky
    But I don't know why that means you and I are
    That means you and I

    I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else
    It seems
    And I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else
    It seems

    And being alone is the, is the best way to be
    When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be
    When I'm all alone, it's the best way to be
    When I'm by myself, nobody else can say
    Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
    And we noticed you don't come around
