Happier Alone

(album: Blood Orange - 2023)

I swear your energy is bringing me down
I thought I liked you, but I'm questioning how
Taking my sunshine and you flip it around
And you were smouldering, but now it's sinking in
You're just a dark, dark cloud

And all you seem to know is the worst case scenario
Is it in my head or, deep down, do I know?

I think I'd be happier alone
I think I sleep better on my own
I'm not gonna miss all the negative
Even when you said I won't
I think I'd be happier
I think I'd be happier alone

Getting excited by the littlest thing (Yeah, yeah)
Like making matcha and they lilac in spring, hmm
Not gonna have to worry 'bout what you're gonna think
Can I finally, can I finally fully open my wings?

When all you seem to know is the worst case scenario
Is it in my head or, deep down, do I know? Oh, oh

I think I'd be happier alone
I think I sleep better on my own
I'm not gonna miss all the negative
Even when you said I won't
I think I'd be happier
I think I'd be happier alone

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

When all you seem to know is the worst case scenario
Is it in my head or, deep down, did I always know?

I think I'd be happier alone
I think I sleep better on my own
I'm not gonna miss all the negative
Even when you said I won't
I think I'd be happier
I think I'd be happier alone

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
All you seem to know is the worst case scenario
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Time for me to go, time for me to go (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Is it time for me to go? (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Ooh
