It’s easier for you to go and break my heart

You’re not good for my soul
The one who cares less always has control
Well I’m taking that back, and you’ll be amazed
Because I only get better looking with age

You like it better when I’m falling apart
It’s easier for you to go and break my heart
Come on now, yeah, come on now
Well the best way to get back at you
Is to live my life and be happy and true
Come on now

I'll never take you back
