Better Off Alone

[Verse 1] I’ve been told since I was small Love’s the cure that heals it all But I’ve seen hearts that tried too hard Breaking just to play the part Empty words and borrowed dreams Chasing ghosts in movie scenes I forgot how quiet feels When I’m whole without appeal [Pre-Chorus] Maybe peace was never gone I just looked in everyone [Chorus] I’m better off alone Don’t need someone to make me whole Built my strength from heart and stone And found the calm inside my soul I’m better off alone Not broken, just my own Been waiting all along To find that I’m enough alone [Verse 2] All those calls that fade to grey Plans that never find their day I kept shrinking to belong Till I realized I’m already strong I don’t need to beg for space Just to feel I have a place Every silence, every scar Taught me who I really are [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love’s a passing tone But I can sing without a home [Chorus] I’m better off alone Don’t need someone to make me whole Built my strength from heart and stone And found the calm inside my soul I’m better off alone Not broken, just my own Been waiting all along To find that I’m enough alone [Bridge] No, I don’t hate the ones I’ve lost They showed me what my freedom costs And maybe that’s the sweetest part — To love myself with my whole heart [Final Chorus – Empowered] I’m better off alone Don’t need someone to make me whole Built my strength from heart and stone And found the calm inside my soul I’m better off alone Not broken, just my own Been waiting all along To find that I’m enough alone I’m better off alone Not lonely — just grown No fairy tale, no borrowed throne I found my light, I found my home I’m better off alone And finally I’ve known The peace I searched for all along Was hiding in my own song [Outro] Better off alone And never more unknown
