Better Off Alone Than Yours

[Verse 1]
You said I was your "wild phase"
Just a detour on your way home
I kept your band tee
Burned your playlist
Left your jacket on the payphone
I scrubbed your name off my mirror
Smudged hearts turning into ghosts
Your toothbrush in my bathroom cup
Got evicted like a bad joke
[Chorus]
I’m better off alone than yours
Screaming in my room like it’s a sold-out tour
Dancing with the dust on the hardwood floor
Yeah I’m better off alone than
Better off alone than yours
Lipstick on my glass like a battle scar
Every little crack in me looks like art
Yeah I’m better off alone than
Better off alone than yours (hey!)
[Verse 2]
I don’t miss your half-assed "sorry"
Typed at 3 a.m. and sent
You loved the way I lit your darkness
But you never paid the rent
Now my phone lights up
I let it
Buzz itself right off the bed
Your number’s just a bad habit
That’s finally dropping dead
[Bridge]
You said I’d fall apart
Look at me
I’m falling up
From your name
From your touch
From that cheap
Dramatic love
You said I’d crawl back
But I’m walking out the door
Boots on
Head high
Middle finger to the floor (woah)
[Chorus]
I’m better off alone than yours
Screaming in my room like it’s a sold-out tour
Dancing with the dust on the hardwood floor
Yeah I’m better off alone than
Better off alone than yours
Lipstick on my glass like a battle scar
Every little crack in me looks like art
Yeah I’m better off alone than
Better off alone than yours
[Outro]
I’m better off alone
Echo in my chest
That’s mine
Better off alone
Your shadow’s not on my side

rock, Raw indie-punk energy with female vocals, jagged guitars, and a snappy, overdriven bass. Verses stay tight and sardonic over palm-muted chords; chorus explodes with open-strummed power, gang shouts, and crash-heavy drums. Brief middle break strips to vocal and toms before the last hook slams back in, high-feedback outro ringing., punk, indie rock
