Verse One

You’re not yourself when you’re by yourself

You try and disguise your feelings with lies

Oh what a surprise! You did it again

Verse Two

If you could see what I see

You’d be exactly perfect to me

But you’ll never change ‘cause you focus on pain

Chorus

That’s why we went our separate ways

That’s why we couldn’t relate

It’s not up for debate when it comes to these things

That’s why you never wanted to try

You couldn’t wait to say goodbye

But it’s too late to make up for mistakes

Verse 3

You’re not yourself when you’re by yourself

You try and disguise your feelings with lies

Oh what a surprise! You did it again

Verse 4

I’m by myself and I like myself again

So please stop calling my friends

They’re all that I’ve got and they’re getting pissed off

Chorus

That’s why we went our separate ways

That’s why we couldn’t relate

It’s not up for debate when it comes to these things

That’s why you never wanted to try

You couldn’t wait to say goodbye

But it’s too late to make up for mistakes
