[INTRO | soft, distant, almost tired] Yeah… I been keepin’ to myself lately… Feels easier that way [HOOK A | simple, earworm, bittersweet] I’m better off alone, I think Don’t gotta say too much, don’t gotta be seen No one to let down, no in-between Just me and my thoughts and a screen I’m better off alone, for now Don’t gotta fake it, don’t gotta go out World get loud, I just tune it out Tell myself that I’m better off now [VERSE | grounded, relatable habits] Phone on silent, I don’t check it Missed a few calls, I don’t stress it People ask where I been at I just say “busy” and dead it Room stay dark most the day Blinds half closed, light don’t stay Same chair, same spot, same place Hours pass, I don’t feel a way Food get cold, I forget to eat Play the same song on repeat Used to hate bein’ by myself Now it kinda feel like peace [HOOK A | repeat, slightly fuller] I’m better off alone, I think Don’t gotta say too much, don’t gotta be seen No one to let down, no in-between Just me and my thoughts and a screen I’m better off alone, for now Don’t gotta fake it, don’t gotta go out World get loud, I just tune it out Tell myself that I’m better off now [HOOK B | variation, more honest / cracked] Maybe I’m better this way Don’t gotta feel too much, don’t gotta explain If I don’t get close, I don’t feel pain At least that’s what I say Maybe I’m better alone No one to miss when I’m back at home No one to call, no one to know How far I drift when I’m on my own [MICRO VERSE | short, subtle contradiction] Sometimes I almost text… then I don’t Start to type, then I just stop Stare at the screen for a minute or two Then lock my phone and let it drop [HOOK A | final, layered, slightly heavier] I’m better off alone, I think Don’t gotta say too much, don’t gotta be seen No one to let down, no in-between Just me and my thoughts and a screen I’m better off alone, for now Don’t gotta fake it, don’t gotta go out World get loud, I just tune it out Tell myself that I’m better off now [OUTRO | soft, uncertain] …yeah I think…
