Lyrics[]

This plane can't fly on just one engine
this heart can't beat without affection
I'm not a choice I'm a natural direction
This house can stand just fine on its own
This hand's gonna rule without a throne

I'm not the mother, I'm the queen of invention

(I'm gonna make you see the difference between) just quitting and survival
(I've got a voice and I've made my choice between) heartbreak and revival
(I know you hate how I make) everything look easy to do
But it's my pleasure doing everything better without you
(Cause this one works better than two)

Oh romantics are a dying breed
And this romance is dead to me
So

I'm gonna bury your love six feet under
(They) say that one's a lonely number
But lightning's struck and I found my thunder
There's another side of me that you're about to discover

(I'm gonna) make you see the difference between
just quitting and survival
I've got a voice and I've made my choice between heartbreak and revival
(I know you hate how I make) everything look easy to do
But it's my pleasure doing everything better without you

Cause this one works better than

Two wrongs don't make a right when one leaves the other behind
And I've found you only regret when you stay too long that you will forget

I'm gonna make you see the difference between
just quitting and survival

I've got a voice and I've made a choice between heartbreak and revival
I know you hate how i make everything look easy to do
But it's my pleasure doing everything better without you
(Oh) it's my pleasure doing everything better without you
(Cause this one works better than two)
Cause this one works better than two
