lyrics

There's a way you've found, a way to feel completed
And to forget the ones who let you down
There's a spot 'cross town, a place where you feel needed
And when you walk in every head turns 'round

I don't mean to be the one to bring bad news
But how long will it take before you get a clue?
You're better off alone
You're better off alone

There's an hour at night, I feel most defeated
I get nostalgic as I lie in bed
Think of where I've been, and what's not yet created
And panic over gray hairs on my head

Is it any wonder? You stay younger while I get old
But I've never been one to live how I was told
I'm better off alone, better off alone
I'm better off alone, better off alone

Gonna stop sometime, acting like I'm twenty
Iron my shirt and fall in line
Let go, stop trying, and make a little money
And feel better with each dream left behind

And when it's over will I still feel this regret?
So I can't jeopardize all that may happen yet
I'm better off alone, better off alone
I'm better off alone, better off alone
