Don’t make promises that you can’t keep
Don’t smile caus you think we need it
Don’t hold just for the sake of it
You know we deserve better

Just be honest that’s all I ask
Smile caus your happy
Hold someone caus you love them
You know we deserve better

Look with truth in your eyes
Use words with meaning
Embrace what makes you smile
You know we deserve better

Life is hard being on your own
Even harder being with a partner
Both pulling in different directions
You know we deserve better

We were always meant for different roads
Shouldn’t be bitter about our time
We learnt that we weren’t matched
It’ time to move on, and find something better.
