[Verse 1]
Like cigarettes & alcohol
Baby, you're my downfall
Dressed up in that pretty blue shirt
Damn, you're really gonna hurt me
Hate it when you don't call
Warning signals all along
Flowers dying deep in the dirt
Damn, you're really gonna hurt

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, fell really hard for you
You're breaking my heart in two
But I knew all along
And I still played along
Oh, fell really hard for you
You're so damn predictable
And I knew all along, oh

[Chorus]
Only you can make me feel like I'm the prettiest in the room
But then you make me feel invisible
I'm better when I'm
Hanging at the party with your friends, they think I'm cool
Then you show up and make me feel so small
I'm better when you're gone

[Post-Chorus]
Better, better
I'm better when you're gone
So much better, better off
I'm better when you're gone
Better, better
I'm better when you're gone
So much better, better off
I'm better when you're gone

[Verse 2]
Left my clothes at your house
You can go and throw 'em out
Laying in that pretty blue shirt
Only makes me think about
Selective memories so I forget all the bad ones
Like I'm seventeen, I believe you're a good one
The reality is your love is my poison, oh
I still can't believe that

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, fell super hard for you
You broke my heart in two
But I knew all along, oh

[Chorus]
Only you can make me feel like I'm the prettiest in the room
But then you make me feel invisible
I'm better when I'm
Hanging at the party with your friends, they think I'm cool
Then you show up and make me feel so small
I'm better when you're gone

[Post-Chorus]
Better, better
I'm better when you're gone
So much better, better off
I'm better when you're gone
Better, better
I'm better when you're gone
So much better, better off
I'm better when you're-

[Outro]
You can make me feel like I'm the prettiest in the room
But then you make me feel invisible
I'm better when I'm
Hanging at the party with your friends, they think I'm cool
Then you show up and make me feel so small
I'm better when you're gone

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
