Better off...



You'll never put down your pride,
And i'll never let go of my anger,
We can't say were sorry when we know were not,
But i'll build a window and so should you,
So we can see that when our worlds fell apart our own worlds grew.
Were better off without each other,
You and I,
You'll always be my first but not my last,
I'll move on and find someone,
I hope you do the same,
But don't forget the love we shared.
Keep me in your heart and I'll keep you in mine,
So maybe we can take down our walls and say were sorry someday.
