[Verse 1]
If you mean it when you say you want the best for me
Then I hope you would know that it isn't us
I'm sorry I didn't say the things you expected me to say
'Cause you were always the one who couldn't open up

[Chorus]
You were never gonna want me back
Until you knew I was gone
Hate to say it doesn't work like that
You could feel me moving on
No, you didn't even have to ask
'Cause you knew all along
Now I'm the one that doesn't want you back
(Now I'm the one that doesn't want you back)

[Post-Chorus]
It's for the best
That's what you said
Tables turn, now you learn to let me go
So let me go

[Verse 2]
Now I mean it when I say I want the best for you
And I really hope that you're happier
Used to dream about the day you'd say you love me too, but now
I don't feel a thing when you say the words
[Chorus]
You were never gonna want me back
Until you knew I was gone
Hate to say it doesn't work like that
You could feel me moving on
No, you didn't even have to ask
'Cause you knew all along
Now I'm the one that doesn't want you back
(Now I'm the one that doesn't want you back)

[Post-Chorus]
It's for the best
That's what you said
Tables turn, now you learn to let me go
It's for the best
That's what you said
Tables turn, now you learn to let me go
So let me go

[Chorus]
You were never gonna want me back
Until you knew I was gone
Hate to say it doesn't work like that
You could feel me moving on
No, you didn't even have to ask
'Cause you knew all along
Now I'm the one that doesn't want you back
(Now I'm the one that doesn't want you back)
