Alone - Sorcha Richardson, David K

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
