• Time goes by and I watch the second hand,
    Tick past the numbers and start over again,
    Do you think of me, or do you wonder,
    If I'm ok where I am, if I'm ok,
    I feel like I'm in a straitjacket,
    Stuck where I stand,
    But my friends are always there,
    And they tell me that,

    I'm better off without you,
    I can be myself again,
    I gave my love to you, and my heart,
    But you just threw it away,
    Left to pick up the pieces by myself,
    I realise it's you,
    You made me what I am,

    Time goes by and I watch the minute hand,
    Tick past all the numbers and start again,
    I know you don't want to think of me,
    Or even wonder,
    So I'll stop asking and maybe you'll forget,
    About me, about us, about everything we had,
    And when I'm with my friends,
    They tell me that,

    I'm better off without you,
    I can be myself again,
    I gave my love to you, and my heart,
    But you just threw it away,
    Left to pick up the pieces by myself,
    I realise it's you,
    You made me what I am,

    Time goes by and the hour hand
    Watches me as it slowly rotates
    It screams out the past things I've done
    And it yells out every lie I've heard
    It's all in my mind
    It won't let me escape
    Escape
    ESCAPE

    Am I better off without you?
    Can I be myself again?
    I gave my love and my heart to you,
    You just threw it away,
    Still picking up the pieces by myself,
    I realise it's you,
    You made me what I am,
    What I am
