Better Off Alone

Anouk · To Get Her Together [2011]

Mourning through thoughts of you

My heavy heart

Can't find my way around

It's morning when it starts



You and I wanted love, somewhere down the line

(You and I) All of the things that we've been through

(Don't you know) Deep down you know that I love you

(That by know) If you don't know that by now then

I might have to leave



Baby, you're telling me that I'm no good, and I don't even care

You make it so hard for me, to love you back in any way I can

Many times I am failing you, cannot give what I want you

And if you ride my side, my heart is made of stone

Then I'm better of alone



Building a para-case, day by day

Leaving me paralyzed, selfish and afraid

I am not who I was, I got broken deep inside



(Make it feel) I make you feel left out alone

(All alone) You need a place you can call home

(Need a home) What if I'm finding out now

I can't do that anymore



Baby, you're telling me that I'm no good, and I don't even care

You make it so hard for me, to love you back, the only way I can

Many times I am failing you, cannot give what I want you

And if you ride my side, my heart is made of stone

Then I'm better of alone



(I'm trying so hard to be the one that you think I should stay)

But it doesn't work that way

(I'm trying so hard to be the one that you think I should stay)

But I am so afraid, heyy, so afraid, so afraid, baby, oeehh



Baby you're telling me that I'm no good and I don't even care

You make it so hard for me to love you back in any way I can
