(Intro) 4X

(Verse) 4X
Ash his heart onto the ground
Pull his guts out by frustration
Be careful you might kill him

(Transition) 4X
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say

(Verse) 4X
So you've been going out for years
And I'm sure that you've been happy
Happy with your role

(Verse) 4X
You've been looking up to him
As if you've forgotten of your own life
Forgotten of your own face
Burn and start again

(Transition) 4X
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say

(PreChorus)
On my own again		(Extra Part)
That's what she said (that's what she said)
(PreChorus)		
I'm leaving you tomorrow    (Extra Part)
But she already left (she already left)
(PreChorus)
On my own again		(Extra Part)
That's what she said (that's what she said)
(PreChorus)
I'm leaving you tomorrow    (Extra Part)
But she already left (she already left me)

(Prelude to Chorus), then
\/
YEAH!

(Chorus)
She said I'm better off DEAD

(Chorus 2nd Part)
It's your own life
Live it for yourself
It's your own life
Live it for your...

(Transition) 4X
Just cause he can't hear what you say
Doesn't mean that he's not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say

(PreChorus)
On my own again		(Extra Part)
That's what she said (that's what she said)
(PreChorus)		
I'm leaving you tomorrow    (Extra Part)
But she already left (she already left)
(PreChorus)
On my own again		(Extra Part)
That's what she said (that's what she said)
(PreChorus)
I'm leaving you tomorrow    (Extra Part)
But she already left (she already left me)

(Prelude to Chorus), then
\/
YEAH!

(Chorus)		(STOP!)
She said I'm better off dead
