Better Alone

(album: Shadows And Shinings - 2021)

All I need
All I need
All I need

You see, all I really ever need
Is enough space so I could breathe
I got too much on to orbit the moon
I need a piece of cake but she is MIA
Every party that I go to
Likely show my face but then I'm home
'Cause I don't ever feel
Like selling myself, sitting up on that shelf
Waiting for the Bella Hadid, you see me
On my sofa, so far life's gone by so fast
Like I been up in a go-cart, I'm just a big kid
King of the faux pas like Joker
I'm as awkward as they come, no composure
Like half of Mozart, just a poser
Find love then I'll run

I don't expect you to understand me, yeah yeah yeah
You see, I'm one of my own
I'm from a different kind of planet, yeah yeah yeah
You see, this don't feel like home

Maybe I'm better alone
I don't expect you to understand, I don't need no rescuing
I'm better alone
I think I'm better alone

How do we keep these conversations going strong?
No connection just your reflection on a phone
And all I hear is, "Where you been and where you going?"
Am I wrong, am I right? Wanting more
Wanting a life to die for? Up on the road
That I am warranted like Bonnie and Clyde
The type that's never rocking the boat, why can't life flow
Stitched up, called commitmentphobe, but I ain't buying that
Out of date, out to taste
Trying to find someone with brains amongst all the zombies
Dad would say, "The kid ain't straight"
Another oddball Tom Green

I don't expect you to understand me, yeah yeah yeah
You see, I'm one of my own
I'm from a different kind of planet, yeah yeah yeah
You see, this don't feel like home
I don't expect you to understand me, yeah yeah yeah
You see, I'm one of my own
I'm from a different kind of planet, yeah yeah yeah
You see this don't feel like home

Maybe I'm better alone
I don't expect you to understand, I don't need no rescuing
I'm better alone
Want grass as green as it grows, is that so bad? I don't know
Maybe I'm better alone
I don't expect you to understand, I don't need no rescuing
I'm better alone
Maybe I'm better alone
I'm better alone
Yeah, I'm better alone
Maybe I'm better alone
I'm better alone
I'm better alone
I think I'm better alone
I must be better alone
I must be better alone
Better alone
