Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
And me, I think it all depends
On you touching ground with us, but
[Chorus]
I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems, and
I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems, and
[Chorus]
And being alone is the, is the best way to be
When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone, it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet
The colors slip into the sky
[Verse 3]
But I don't know why
That means you and I are
That means you and I
[Chorus]
I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems, and
I quit, I give up
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems, and
[Chorus]
And being alone is the, is the best way to be
When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone, it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say
[Outro]
Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
