"Military Strongmen" lyrics

I'm on parade, you don't say
Why can't you see that
Keeping my feelings at bay
Why can't you see that when

When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you
When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you
I'm just better off

All of the years add up to
Why can't you see that
Something has happened to you
Why can't you see that when

When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you
When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you

When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you
When you're around, you just get me down
You just get me down

It's not me
It can't be
I'd rather leave
It's getting hard
To be a part
Of what is around

Is this the situation of the time?
If so, then you can have yours, I want mine
I know there's something better you could be
Now I am past caring completely

When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you
When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you

When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you
When you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you
