[Verse 1] My heart drops dead every time that I see her run Upstairs so I can get the picture clear Walking past my room in the early afternoon Long dark hair with an oversize sweater Know you don't care but I can pretend that you do In the early afternoon
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, maybe one day suddenly You'll look up and notice me up there But I'm too scared [Chorus] Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone) I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh-ooh) Maybe I'm better alone
[Verse 2] I woke up in the morning, talked myself up Got the courage, and I waited in my room Right before the afternoon I saw you take the corner I was opening the door when I saw it, too It wasn't only you
[Chorus] Maybe I'm better alone (Alone, alone) I say I'll get better, I won't (Ooh-ooh)
