Better Off Alone
Streetlights across the avenue,
Midnight skies turning electric blue,
I used to wait for you to call,
Now I don't wait at all.
I gave you every piece of me,
You gave me reasons I couldn't see,
Always chasing, always trying,
While you were changing,
I was crying. I thought love meant holding on,
Even when the feeling was gone,
But somewhere underneath the pain,
I found myself again.
Sometimes walking away Is the hardest thing to do,
But you can lose yourself Trying to hold on to someone new.
Better Off Alone, better off alone,
Dancing underneath the retro glow,
Better Off Alone, better off alone,
I don't need somebody just to call my own.
Turn the music up,
let the old days go,
Feel that freedom when the bassline flows,
Better Off Alone, better off alone,
Tonight we're finally coming home.
I remember all the late-night fights,
Talking underneath the bedroom lights,
Every promise started sounding fake,
I don't hate you,
I just grew, I discovered something new,
Being single doesn't mean I'm lost,
Sometimes freedom is worth the cost.
We don't need to compromise Everything we are,
Sometimes being on your own Is how you find your heart.
Oh-oh,
we're free tonight!
Oh-oh, under flashing lights!
No more waiting by the telephone,
No more feeling like I'm all alone.
I'm not lonely, I'm alive!
We're gonna dance until sunrise!
I thought I needed you to survive.
I found out I could thrive.
I thought the ending meant goodbye.
It was the start of a better life.
Sometimes love can turn to chains,
Sometimes leaving breaks the pain,
And when the silence disappears,
You can finally hear yourself again.
Better Off Alone,
better off alone,
Dancing underneath the retro glow,
Better Off Alone,
better off alone,
Now we're stronger than we used to know.
Hands up high, let the rhythm roll,
Synthesiser beating through your soul,
Better Off Alone,
better off alone, We don't need somebody to make us whole!
Better off...
Better off...
BETTER OFF ALONE!
Fading, morning
comes, But the
freedom
stays when the night is done.
