I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
(On my own)
I tried to be perfect
It just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing can save me
But it's the only thing that I have
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
(On my own)
I tried to be perfect
It just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

Hewy@! {my 1st post} Its very personal so its like this: I was being a good christian(I tried to be perfect) an i thought that bad time wouldnt come to me, but then bad times came (I thought nothing was worth it.) Thimes where i question God where he is (I don't believe it makes me real.) When I thought it'd be easy being with God no one really know who I was (but no one believes me. {belive me as believe who i am} ) Then i came 'rebel' with God and says thing that I do meant like questioning (I meant all the things I said.) I ask him to change me (If you'd believe it's in my soul) I ws saying %##@! (I'd say all the words that I know) But it was just a cause that i want to feel he is 100% real that is not all faint (just to see if it would show.) And i fought and told him that i woulnd believe in him no more (Now I'm trying to let you know, that I'm better off on my own) But then i read this song and me me a better person.. thats basically what i think it mean
Wow, i love your story and the way the lyrics apply to it. I'ts always beautiful how words can be molded to everybody's experiences.
