Lyrics to Better Alone
My heart drops dead every time that I see her run
Upstairs so I can get the picture clearer, walking past my room
In the early afternoon
Long dark hair with an oversize sweater, know you don't care but I can pretend that you do
In the early afternoon
Oh, maybe one day suddenly
You'll look up and notice me, up there
But I'm too scared
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Oh, I won't)
Maybe I'm better alone
I woke up in the morning, talked myself up
Got the courage, then I waited in my room
Right before the afternoon
I saw you take the corner
I was opening the door when I saw it, too
It wasn't only you
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
Maybe I'm better alone
Just the way that it's always been
I'll be there for myself
Guess I have to let you go
I'm better off alone
Maybe I'm better alone
Imagine it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
That all this time I've waited for you here
Oh, imagine it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
That all this time I've waited for you
But maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
Maybe I'm better alone
Just the way that it's always been
I'll be there for myself
Guess I have to let you go
I'm better off alone
Maybe I'm better alone
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm
Ooh, ooh
Upstairs so I can get the picture clearer, walking past my room
In the early afternoon
Long dark hair with an oversize sweater, know you don't care but I can pretend that you do
In the early afternoon
Oh, maybe one day suddenly
You'll look up and notice me, up there
But I'm too scared
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Oh, I won't)
Maybe I'm better alone
I woke up in the morning, talked myself up
Got the courage, then I waited in my room
Right before the afternoon
I saw you take the corner
I was opening the door when I saw it, too
It wasn't only you
Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
Maybe I'm better alone
Just the way that it's always been
I'll be there for myself
Guess I have to let you go
I'm better off alone
Maybe I'm better alone
Imagine it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
That all this time I've waited for you here
Oh, imagine it went another way
Imagine if I got the chance to say
That all this time I've waited for you
But maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
Maybe I'm better alone
Just the way that it's always been
I'll be there for myself
Guess I have to let you go
I'm better off alone
Maybe I'm better alone
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm
Ooh, ooh
