Leave me alone, I need to be on my own
Tired of you thinkin youre right telling me I'm always wrong.
I don't know but one thing;s for sure
the sooner i see you walkin out that door
the better i'll be
oh, the better i'll be

So, stop bringin' me down
you can't find somethin nice to say
don't say it at all
let me make my own mistakes
I'll beat your love
the hard way, oh the hard way
oh the hard way

i know it sounds funny but i know you just can't help yourself
cause in your mind you just can't stand by and let me talk
how can you tell me all the ins and outs
you don't know where i've been or what i'm all about
or what i'm feelin
i've got to live to belive yeah

So, stop bringin' me down
you can't find somethin nice to say
don't say it at all
let me make my own mistakes
I'll beat your love
the hard way, oh the hard way
