Lyrics

Apart

[Chorus]

I never do anything that pleases you

So maybe we are better off apart

I don't wanna argue anymore

So maybe we are better off apart

(Ah, yeah, what?)

[Verse 1]

You used to spend time with me, you would never leave but

Now the time you used to give, you spend with your friends

Lately, I've been feeling like you're taking me for granted

You do not appreciate anything I do

[Pre-Chorus]

That is why I'm leaving (Leaving you)

Sorry cannot fix it (Sorry)

You'll regret everything (Everything)

You'll be looking for me (For me)

You never listened to me (You never listened to me)

You never really loved me (You never loved me)

I've done everything I could (Done everything I could)

You did not meet me halfway, why? (Maybe you'll see why)

[Chorus]

I never do anything that pleases you (Anything to make me please you)

So maybe we are better off apart (Hey, I'm better off apart)

I don't wanna argue anymore (I don't want no more, so)

So maybe we are better off apart (By ourselves)

(Ah, uh-huh, what?)

[Verse 2]

You always have something to say, you're always complaining

When things do not go your way, then you want to leave

Well, I've had more than enough, I am sick of talking

You do not appreciate anything I do

[Pre-Chorus]

That is why I'm leaving (Leaving you)

Sorry cannot fix it (Sorry cannot fix it)

You'll regret everything (Oh, yes, you will)

You'll be looking for me (You'll be looking for me)

You never listened to me (Never listened to me)

You never really loved me (Never really loved me)

I've done everything I could (Done everything I could)

You did not meet me halfway (And I tried so hard)

And I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried (I tried, but)

[Chorus]

I never do anything that pleases you (Never do, that pleases you)

So maybe we are better off apart (So maybe we are better off apart)

I don't wanna argue anymore (Anymore, so)

So maybe we are better off apart (Maybe we, I'm better off by myself)

'Cause I never do anything that pleases you

So maybe we are better off apart (Ooh, better off this way)

I don't wanna argue anymore (Don't wanna argue anymore)

So maybe we are better off apart (Maybe we, we're better off by ourselves)

[Bridge]

And I tried and I tried

While you lied and I cried

So I'm saying goodbye

No more, no more

And I tried and I tried (And I tried)

While you lied, I cried

So I'm saying goodbye

No more, no more

[Chorus]

I never do anything that pleases you (I never do anything)

So maybe we are better off apart (Better off, baby, I don't need you in my life no more)

I don't wanna argue anymore (And I'm tired of arguing)

So maybe we are better off apart (Maybe we, oh, oh)

[Outro]

I never do anything, uh-uh

I never do anything that pleases you, so (Oh, maybe we)
