Things get better when we're apart
'Cause every time I'm with you girl, you break my heart
'Cause you don't look at things the same as me
You say stay, and I say no
You make me wanna run when you say hello
'Cause you and I will always disagree

I will stand up, I will fall
Please don't wait for me to call
I would like to say I'm sorry but I won't

Words you whisper into my ear
Just make me wanna run, wanna disappear
'Cause I don't look at things the way you do
I'm not happy when you're around
You make me wanna run, wanna hit the ground
And you're just not the girl that I once knew

I would like to make your day
But I'd rather fade away
I would like to say I'm sorry but I won't

[Guitar solo]

Now my back's against the wall
But I'm not afraid at all
I would like to say I'm sorry but I won't

Things get better when we're apart
And everytime I'm with you girl, you break my heart
'Cause I don't look at things the way you do

You will not forgive my sins
In this game where no one wins
I would like to say I'm sorry but I won't

No I'm never going to stay
And I'll soon be on my way
I would love to say I'm sorry but I won't

Say sorry baby but I won't
Baby I won't
Say sorry baby but I won't
Baby I won't
Say sorry baby but I won't
Baby I won't
