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 here 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
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...
Alone... I'm so much better on my own Wishing I was alone I'm so much better on my own
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
