The last time we talked
You put me on the spot
It sounded a lot
Like a final offer
I told you since day one
I'm a rolling stone
A poor foundation for a home
It's not that I'm short on self-esteem
I just can't give you what you need
I'm bankrupt emotionally
Surviving on memories
Of a girl who meant the world to me
So when I tell you that you'd be
Better off without me
It's not for drama's sake
I'm not pushing you away
When I tell you I'm not worth your time
I'm just telling you the truth
All I can give are a poet's words
And the few years left on a setting youth
It's not that I'm short on self-esteem
I just can't give you what you need
I'm bankrupt emotionally
Surviving on memories
Of a girl to whom I'm a casualty
So when I tell you that you'd be
Better off without me
It's not for drama's sake
I'm not pushing you away
You need your equal
I'm not on any level
So set yourself free
Before it gets too painful
