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 (Ooh, ooh)
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 two
It wasn't only you

Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone)
I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh, ooh)
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 (Ooh, ooh)
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

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, hmm
Ooh, ooh
