Ella Canney - Treat Me Right

You said you'd call me back at seven
But it's nine o'clock
But it's not unlike you to want to
Go and blow me off
I should probably reach for the tissues
For tears that will fill my eyes
But I do that too often
And this time my eyes are dry

You'll probably make up some excuse
So I don't pin the blame on you
But I'm so sick of acting like
This doesn't happen every time

I'll turn the music on
Probably go out tonight
Dance till the break of dawn
And sing till it feels alright
It doesn't hurt to be alone
More than it hurts to be by your side
I'm better off on my own
Cause I know that I'll treat me right

Everybody tells me I'm wrong for
Hiding in my room
But the second I start reaching out
I end up looking like a fool
It hurts the most when they all act
Like everything is fine
But if I'm forced to live like that
I'm gonna lose my mind

You'll probably make up some excuse
So I don't pin the blame on you
But I'm so sick of acting like
This doesn't happen every time

I'll turn the music on
Probably go out tonight
Dance till the break of dawn
And sing till it feels alright
It doesn't hurt to be alone
More than it hurts to be by your side
I'm better off on my own
Cause I know that I'll treat me right

I try so hard to make a friend
It rarely works out in the end
But I don't want your apologies
Cause I don't need you here with me
I try so hard to make a friend
It rarely works out in the end
But I don't want your apologies
Cause I don't want you here with me

I'll have the music on
You'll see me out tonight
Just because you blew me off
Don't mean you'll see me cry
Cause sometimes it hurts to be alone
But not as much as it hurts to be by your side
I'm better off on my own
Cause I know that I'll treat me right
