Better Alone

One is my company, where two is too much
Free as I'll ever be, from the force of your touch
Now I'm desensitised
You've worn me down to a thin line
But I'm feeling fine

All the days that I'd waste
Refusing personal space
Were only compensatory
I was so low down and hung up
With nobody to comfort
Me into the night
But now it feels so right

Because I'm better alone
I know I'm better alone
I won't expect you to understand
Now that I'm better alone
I find it's better alone
To soothe my soul in a no man's land

The friends that I had have gone
From best to the worst
They were a blessing revealed as a curse
They couldn't help me to see
That the greatest part of me
Was only held back
By a lack of empathy

Once optimistic with my faith in humanity
It's now a fraction of what it used to be
I always craved their approval
Now I seek a removal
From their sympathy
It's just unnecessary

Because I'm better alone
I know I'm better alone
And I just couldn't be more elated
Now that I'm better alone
I find it's better alone
To keep my happiness isolated

Don't try to save me
I'm better off without your help
It wouldn't phase me
I am a law unto myself
You couldn't break it
In the same way that you broke my heart
This life won't ever be yours to own
Again

Because I'm better alone
I know I'm better alone
I won't expect you to understand
Now that I'm better alone
I find it's better alone
To soothe my soul in a no man's land
Because I'm better alone
I know I'm better alone
And I just couldn't be more elated
Now that I'm better alone
I find it's better alone
To keep my happiness isolated
