When I was young I was strange
Night after night in New York City
Trying hard not to amount to anything
People don't change Same as it ever
was but now people pay to hear me sing
It's worth a second look
But I swear I've made myself
from glue and smiles
Stacked upon themselves
Maybe I'll pretend that
I'm somebody else
Who's closer to
what I want to be
Alone I'm so much
better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much
better on my own
Post Chorus: x2
There's no sign of me here
I've been to hell and back
On a train built with pride
and failed attempts
That used to be fun
I never thought you could
reinvent the world by playing
shows and writing songs
It's worth a second look
But I swear I've made myself
from heart attacks
Stacked upon themselves
Maybe I'll pretend that
I'm somebody else
Who's closer to what I want to be
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Don't wish too hard
You might get what you want
I've grown needs so
please look at me
But not too long
Because I'm better off alone
So much better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much better on my own
Alone I'm so much
better on my own
Wishing I was alone
I'm so much
better on my own
