Better Off
I've been on my own since 18
Tryna navigate this world I'm in
I never met your expectations
Who were you to tell me how to feel?
You told me, "Get an education"
You said that I'm a waste and that I'd fail
You never came to one of my shows
You told me that I'm wasting all my time
Now I see you textin' my phone
On read for the rest of your damn life
Never had the family to give me what I needed
I've always been a little different, you just couldn't see it
I've been on my own since 18
Tryna navigate this world I'm in
So take me somewhere else, I hate this
I'm a renegade, you're full of shit
And I'm better off alone
I always tried to make you think that
I was really hearing what you said
Didn't you see my eyes glaze over
Every time you told me that my dreams were dead
I don't know where to go from here, but
I'm sick of taking all the worst of it
Talking to me like you got it all figured out
I've never met such a fucking hypocrite
I never had the family to give me what I needed
I've always been a little different, you just couldn't see it
I've been on my own since 18
Tryna navigate this world I'm in
So take me somewhere else, I hate this
I'm a renegade, you're full of shit
And I'm better off alone
I feel like I'm an alien
Crash-landed and I can't find my spaceship (I can't find my spaceship)
'Cause every time I read the news
I wanna hide myself in my basement (myself in my basement)
I've been on my own since 18
Tryna navigate this world I'm in
(And I'm better off alone)
So take me somewhere else, I hate this
I'm a renegade, you're full of shit
And I'm better off alone
Don't want you call my phone
'Cause you never cared at all
You kicked me out of my home
I had nowhere to go
I was just a kid with hopes
But you couldn't see that though
Now I'm doin' fine without you 'cause I'm better off alone (fuck)
Tryna navigate this world I'm in
I never met your expectations
Who were you to tell me how to feel?
You told me, "Get an education"
You said that I'm a waste and that I'd fail
You never came to one of my shows
You told me that I'm wasting all my time
Now I see you textin' my phone
On read for the rest of your damn life
Never had the family to give me what I needed
I've always been a little different, you just couldn't see it
I've been on my own since 18
Tryna navigate this world I'm in
So take me somewhere else, I hate this
I'm a renegade, you're full of shit
And I'm better off alone
I always tried to make you think that

I don't know where to go from here, but
I'm sick of taking all the worst of it
