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, in an oversized 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, alone

I say I'll get better, 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

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 if it went another way

Imagine if I got the chance to say

That all this time, I've waited for you here

Oh, imagine if 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

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
