If there's one thing that you should learn, |
|
It's maybe you should be concerned, |
|
About me, about me, |
|
The secret's out, I'm telling it, |
|
There's a Rebel inside Eliot, |
|
And she's leaving, don't you follow me, |
|
Cause I'm better off alone, |
|
I'm better off alone, |
|
I'm better when I'm holding onto nothing, |
|
When I've got room to roam, |
|
You can try and win my heart, |
|
But you should know before you start, |
|
That it beats in syncopation, with the city, rarely with the nation |
|
I wrapped your flag around my neck, |
|
To try and keep my pulse in check, |
|
But it's all a waste, you hate this place, |
|
And our bones break when we embrace |
|
That's why we're better off alone |
|
We're better off alone |
|
Better when we're holding |
|
When I've got room to roam |
|
Yeah we're better off alone |
|
Better off alone |
|
Better when there's nobody beside me |
|
So much better on my own |
|
On my oh-oh-oh |
|
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-own |
|
On my oh-oh-oh |
|
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-own |
|
My lungs are set to burst, |
|
This house is haunted, maybe I'm cursed |
|
My lungs are set to burst, |
|
This house is haunted, maybe something much worse |
|
My dreams are dark and cold |
|
I'm lost and alone on a road I don't know |
|
Dragging a chest that's too heavy to hold |
|
Full of the feelings that I never showed |
|
Full of the secrets that I never told |
|
Chained round my knees now they buckle and fold |
|
That's why I'm better off alone |
|
I'm better off alone |
|
I'm better when I'm holding nothing |
|
When I've got room to roam |
|
Yeah I'm better off alone |
|
I'm better off alone |
|
I'm better when there's nobody beside me, |
|
So much better on my own, |
|
On my oh-oh-oh |
|
oh-oh-oh |
|
oh-oh-oh-own |
