When I was young I was strange
Night after night in New York City
Trying hard not to amount to anything
People don't change, same as it ever was
But now people pay to here me sing
It's worth a second look
But I swear I've made myself from glue and smiles
Stacked upon themselves
Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else
Who's closer to what I want to be
Alone
I'm so much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own
There's no sign of me here
I've been to hell and back
On a train built with pride and failed attempts
That used to be fun
I never thought you could reinvent the world
By playing shows and writing songs
It's worth a second look
But I swear I've made myself from heart attacks
Stacked upon themselves
Maybe I'll pretend that I'm somebody else
Who's closer to what I want to be
Alone
I'm so much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own
Don't wish too hard
You might get what you want
I've grown needs so please look at me
But not too long
Because I'm better off alone
So much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own
Alone
I'm so much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own
