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
