I like you better

I like you better when you're quiet
I like you better at a distance
Arms length, arms length
Isn't far enough for me
Your pleads, your pleads
Don't mean a damn thing to me
I've heard it all before and I'll say it again: I'm not listening
History repeats, repeats
I like you better in my past
I'd like it better if I forget you all-together
One good thing among a million insane
It's Not enough for me
It's easy; so easy
For me to leave

We're too far gone
Stop trying to pull me in
Been there more than once
Don't want to go there again

I like you better when you're with her
I like you better when we're not together
Pass on, pass on
Take your burdens along
It hurts, it hurts
Trying to make it work
it doesn't hurt when it doesn't work  with her
Move on, move on
I like you better at some other door
I'd like it better if you'd never knocked at mine before
When you two are through don't assume
That I'm waiting for you
Don't try; don't try
I won't change my mind

We're too far gone
Stop trying to pull me in
Been there more than once
Don't want to go there again
