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?)

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 feelin' like you're takin' me for granted
You do not appreciate anything I do

That is why I'm leavin' you (leavin' you)
Sorry, cannot fix it (sorry)
You'll regret everything (everything)
You'll be looking for me (for me)
You never listen to me (you never listen 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?

I never do anything that pleases you
So maybe we are better off apart
I don't wanna argue anymore (I don't want no more)
So maybe we are better off apart
(Ah, uh-huh, what?)

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 talkin'
You do not appreciate anything I do

That is why I'm leavin' 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 listen to me (you never listen to me)
You never really loved me (you never really loved me)
I've done everything I could (done everything I could)
You did not meet me halfway, why? (I try so hard)

And I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried

I never do anything that pleases you (never do, that pleases you)
So maybe we are better off apart
I don't wanna argue anymore (anymore, so)
So maybe we are better off apart (maybe we are better off apart, 'cause I)
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)

And I tried, and I tried
While you lied and I cried
So I'm sayin' goodbye
No more, no more
And I tried, and I tried (I tried)
While you lied, I cried
So I'm sayin' goodbye
No more, no more

I never do anything that pleases you (I never do anything)
So maybe we are better off apart (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 (oh, oh)

(I never do anything, uh-huh)
I never do anything that pleases you, so (oh, maybe we)
