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 onto nothing
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
Well 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 fo-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-fold

That´s why I´m better off alone
I´m better off alone
I´m better when I´m holding onto nothing
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
