My heart drops dead every time that I see her

Run upstairs so I can get the picture clearer walking past my room

In the early afternoonLong dark hair, in an oversized sweater

Know you don′t care but I can pretend that you do

In the early afternoon

Oh, maybe one day suddenly

You'll look up and notice me up there

But I′m too scared

Maybe I'm better alone (alone, alone)

I say I'll get better, I won′t

Maybe I′m better alone

I woke up in the morning

Talked myself up, got the courage

Then I waited in my room

Right before the afternoon

I saw you take the corner

I was opening the door when I saw, two

It wasn't only you

Maybe I′m better alone (alone, alone)

I say I'll get better, I won′t

Maybe I'm better alone

Just the way that it′s always been

I'll be there for myself

Guess I have to let you go

I'm better off alone

Maybe I′m better alone

Imagine if it went another way

Imagine if I got the chance to say

That all this time I′ve waited for you here

Oh, imagine if it went another way

Imagine if I got the chance to say

That all this time I've waited for you

But maybe I′m better alone (alone, alone)

I say I'll get better, I won′t

Maybe I'm better alone

Just the way that it′s always been

I'll be there for myself

Guess I have to let you go

I'm better off alone

Maybe I′m better alone
