Better Off Alone

On the avenue,

Midnight skies turning dark and 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 bright 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 late-night fights,

Underneath the bedroom lights,

Every promise sounded fake,

Every compromise a mistake.

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!

(yeah!) No more waiting by the telephone,

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.

Better Off Alone,

better off alone,

Dancing underneath the bright 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.
