Lyrics:

[Intro]
Uh
Yeah, you can do it
Ha hih, heh-heh-heh

[Verse 1]
I couldn't give a damn what you say to me
I don't really care what you think of me
Cause either way you're gonna think what you believe
There's nothing you could say that would hurt me

I'm better off without you anyway
I thought it would be hard, but I'm okay
I don't need you if you're gonna be that way
Cause with me it's all or nothing

[Pre-chorus]
I'm sick of this shit, don't deny
You're a waste of time
I'm sick of this shit, don't ask why

[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better
Hey, hey you
I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better

[Verse 2]
You're so full of shit, I can't stand
The way you act, I just can't comprehend
I don't think that you can handle it
I'm way over, over it

I will drink as much Limoncello as I can
And I'll do it again and agai-ain
I don't really care what you have to say
Cause you know, you know you're nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sick of your shit, don't deny
You're a waste of time
I'm sick of your shit, don't ask why

[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better
Hey, hey you
I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better

[Interlude]
Whad'ya say, I told you so
You know that cause I always know
Get outta my face, hey hey
You're not my taste, hey hey

I am so, sick of you
You're on my nerves, I want to puke
Get outta my face, hey hey
You're not my taste, hey hey

Hey hey, hey hey

[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better
Hey, hey you
I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better

[Chorus]
I hate you now
So go away from me
You're gone, so long
I can do better, I can do better
Hey, hey you
I found myself again
That's why you're gone
I can do better, I can do better

[Outro]
Huh
Hahaha haha
