[Verse 1]
Why do I irritate you more than anyone else?
Is it cause I try so hard?
Do I make you feel like death?
Why are you so hard to please?
Even in your time of need
Even when you're begging me
To give you all the love you seek

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all too much
I tell you off
But you're cold enough
You and me are painful to watch

[Chorus]
Cause I need to be without you
To feel alive
And I could function pretty well
Before you arrived
I'm allowed to be free
To focus on my life
And I was made before I met you
We should let us die

[Verse 2]
Why is it so hard for you to accept me
As I am and as I come
And as I have always been?
I am so close to calling it
And calling you the names I've wanted to
Spitting out all my truth

[Pre-Chorus]
But it's way too rough
I'd make a scene
But you're angry enough
You and me are painful to watch

[Chorus]
Cause I need to be without you
To feel alive
And I could function pretty well
Before you arrived
I'm allowed to be free
To focus on my life
And I was made before I met you
We should let us die

[Bridge]
And this song, and this song, and this song isn't about you
This song, this song, and this song isn't about you
This song, song, and this song isn't about you
This song, this song, and this song isn't about you
You and me are painful to watch

[Chorus]
Cause I need to be without you
To feel alive
And I could function pretty well
Before you arrived
I'm allowed to be free
To focus on my life
And I was made before I met you
We should let us die
Cause I need to be without you
To feel alive
And I could function pretty well
Before you arrived
I'm allowed to be free
To focus on my life
And I was made before I met you
We should let us die
