These Days

[Verse 1]

I think I was better off

Before this all began

So clearly, I can see lately

That you don't know who I am

Everybody tried to tell me something

That I never could believe

Staring back, it seems so much different

Than it did in front of me

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But I know there's no good

In lookin' back on yesterday

And wondering what could

Have happened then

[Chorus]

You think you can give me what I want

You say, you say

"I think I'm better off alone

These days, these days"

[Verse 2]

Why should I put my trust in something

That I never could believe?

So one day, you can find something better

Just to pack your things and leave?

Loneliness is a friend for the moment

But she won't walk out on me

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I know there's no good

In lookin' back on yesterday

And wondering what could

Have happened then

[Chorus]

You think you can give me what I want

You say, you say

"I think I'm better off alone

These days, these days"

[Bridge]

I'm tired and I'm sick of waiting

Maybe I'll die alone

But I can't take another damn day

Of waiting here for you to come home to me

Yeah, yeah, baby, baby, please

Tell me why

[Chorus]

You think you can give me what I want

You say, you say

"I think I'm better off alone

These days, these days"

You think you can give me what I want

You say, you say

"I think I'm better off alone

These days, these days"
