Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It was a Monday night

When you told me it was over, babe

And by the Friday night

I knew that I would be okay

[Verse 2]

Don't say it was a good thing

Don't say it was the right thing to do

Don't say it was the best thing for the both of us

When I'm the one playing the fool

[Verse 3]

What do you want from me

When I just want to restart?

You keep coming back for me

When you're the one who tore us apart

[Verse 4]

And the truth is I'm better on my own

And I don't want to live in the past

So let me restart

So let me restart

So let me restart

[Verse 5]

You've been lighting up my phone

Worried that I'll be alone tonight

Want to make sure that I'm fine

But, baby, you're not on my mind no more

I know it was the best thing for the both of us

'Cause you're the one who looks like a fool

[Verse 6]

What do you want from me

When I just want to restart?

You keep coming back for me

When you're the one who tore us apart

[Verse 7]

And the truth is I'm better on my own

And I don't want to live in the past

So let me restart

So let me restart

So let me restart

[Verse 8]

Don't say it was the right thing

Live in the past

So let me restart

[Verse 9]

What do you want from me

When I just want to restart?

You keep coming back for me

When you're the one who tore us apart

[Verse 10]

And the truth is I'm better on my own

But I don't want to live in the past

So let me restart

So let me restart

'Cause I don't want to live in the past

[Verse 11]

So let me restart

So let me restart

So let me restart
