Better off Alone

Oh my lover is a diamond
Why does that make me wanna run and hide?
I wanna tear off my skin, lay back let the ocean in
Screaming out for space to let me come alive

Tend to fall for the boys who tell white lies
Tend to like the girls with the wild eyes
I just think I've fallen one too many times

In the deep blue I could do no wrong
If I prefer to dance with no T-shirt on
For the first time standing taller on my own
Think I might be better off alone
Stepping out like a fucking queen
I fix my crown now I've caused this scene
His and hers is all I've ever known
Think I'm really better off alone

Never had a selfish mind
Always given all my time
Dedicated so much of my life
Since I was fourteen
I've had six months total of running free
Never really found out what it means to be me

Without the boys who tell white lies
Without the girls with the wild eyes
Have you ever wanted to fade into the night?

In the deep blue I could do no wrong
If I prefer to dance with no T-shirt on
For the first time standing taller on my own
Think I might be better off alone
Stepping out like a fucking queen
I fix my crown now I've caused this scene
His and hers is all I've ever known
Think I'm really better off alone

Nowadays I'm seeing love as a game
Staying put 'cause I'm scared of the change
Getting bored 'cause it's always been this way
Looking round thinking 'What have I done?'
Never wanted to hurt anyone
But they've all become pieces in this mess I've made
(Falling in love) is meant to give you that rush
But right now the only thing that does
Is the terrifying thrill of being completely untouched
Wanna drown in it

'Cause in the deep blue I could do no wrong
If I prefer to dance with no T-shirt on
For the first time standing taller on my own
Think I'm really better off alone
Stepping out like a fucking queen
I fix my crown now I've caused this scene
His and hers is all I've ever known
Ooohh
In the deep blue I could do no wrong
If I prefer to dance with no T-shirt on
For the first time standing taller on my own
Think I might be better off alone
Stepping out like a fucking queen
I fix my crown now I've caused this scene
His and hers is all I've ever known
Think I'm really better off alone
