Verse 1: I'm on parade, you don't say: why can't you see that Keeping my feelings at bay: why can't you see that when When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you X 2 I'm just better off... Verse 2: All of the years add up to: why can't you see that Something has happened to you: why can't you see that when When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you X 4 You just get me down It's not me, it can't be I'd rather leave It's getting hard, to be a part Of what is around Is this the situation of the time If so you can have yours, I want mine I know there's something better you could be Now I am past caring, completely When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you X 4
