lyrics

all the nights i kept you waiting
blamed it on my past mistakes
my life’s a mess i keep on making
stumbling through the dark

i’m so tired of misbehaving
puts me in a fragile place, man,
why’d you gotta be so patient?
breaks my weary heart

maybe i’m better off on my own
history shows i'm accident prone
i don’t know where i ever went wrong
maybe i’m better broken
i’ve been out running ‘round in the rain
picking up all the pieces again
i got so good at causing you pain
maybe i’m better broken

holding on will keep you hoping
i don’t mean to be a burden
by the time you hear these words, i’m
hoping you’ve moved on

to a better place, where you can belong
a better love, that won’t treat you wrong
i hope that you know that i meant you no harm
it’s just all the shit that i’ve been running from so,

maybe i’m better off on my own
history shows i'm accident prone
i don’t know where i ever went wrong
maybe i’m better broken
i’ve been out running ‘round in the rain
picking up all the pieces again
i got so good at causing you pain
maybe i’m better broken

all your dreams that you hold so tight
if you stay with me they might pass you by
sometimes love can mean
letting something die
i can’t bear to leave
so don’t say goodbye but

maybe i’m better off on my own
history shows i'm accident prone
i don’t know where i ever went wrong
maybe i’m better broken
i’ve been out running ‘round in the rain
picking up all the pieces again
i got so good at causing you pain
maybe i’m better broken

(ahhhh)

maybe i’ll find the strength to begin
putting back all my pieces again
i’ll be just fine but baby til then
maybe i’m better broken
