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 onto nothing
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
Well 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 fo-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-fold

That's why I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone
I'm better when I'm holding onto nothing
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
