It’s time I [F]let you go, I made the mis[C]take, go writing your name on my heart
‘Cause your [F]colors showed, but it was too [C]late, you left me stained, called it art
Do you [F]crave control? I’ve been your [C]doll, that you poke for fun too long
So [F]you should go, don’t look back, I won’t [C]come back can’t do that no more


[F]Go get your praise from someone else, [C]you did a number on my health
[Bb]My world is brighter by itself, and I can [C]do better, do better
You [F]and I were swaying on the ropes, [C]I found my footing on my own
[Bb]I’m a-okay, I’m good as gold, and I can [C]do better, do better a[F]lone, alone, a[C]lone


There ain’t no [F]love ’round here, I loved you [C]once, but it made me dumb
Now I’m seeing it [F]way too clear, you hurt me [C]numb, and for that I’ve run out of time
And a tattoo have [F]pain to feel (Pain to feel), I’ve been your [C]game just taking the blame for too long
Get on [F]out of here, don’t look back, I won’t [C]come back can’t do that no more


[F]Go get your praise from someone else, [C]you did a number on my health
[Bb]My world is brighter by itself, and I can [C]do better, do better
You [F]and I were swaying on the ropes, [C]I found my footing on my own
[Bb]I’m a-okay, I’m good as gold, and I can [C]do better, do better a[F]lone


Don’t you know that you'[F]re bad for me? I gotta [C]trust my lonely
Don’t you know that you'[F]re bad for me? I gotta [C]trust my lonely
Don’t you know you’re [F]no good for me? I gotta [C]trust my lonely
Don’t you know you’re [F]no good for me? I gotta [C]trust my lonely


[F]Go get your praise from someone else, [C]you did a number on my health
[Bb]My world is brighter by itself, and I can [C]do better, do better
You [F]and I were swaying on the ropes, [C]I found my footing on my own
[Bb]I’m a-okay, I’m good as gold, and I can [C]do better, do better a[F]lone


Don’t you know that you'[F]re bad for me? I gotta [C]trust my lonely
Don’t you know that you'[F]re bad for me? I gotta [C]trust my lonely
Don’t you know you’re [F]no good for me? I gotta [C]trust my lonely
