Better Alone Lyrics
Don't you hope
We can start again
Endings are old
But they help you see
Can't quite believe
All of this and what it means
You've become so bitter
You think you're better alone
For the sake of your sanity
It won't resolve
If you just learn to breathe, again
You never had the nerve to begin with
You think you're better alone
Been here before
Seeking safety or something to blame
You feel so hollow
You could swear that you've grown
Wouldn't you think
Its as big as your dream
You've become so bitter
You think you're better alone
For the sake of your sanity
It won't resolve
If you just learn to breathe, again
You never had the nerve to begin with
You think you're better alone
Never had the nerve to begin with
Got to come to your senses
You think you're better alone
For the sake of your sanity
It won't resolve
If you just learn to breathe, again
You think you're better alone
It won't resolve..
We can start again
Endings are old
But they help you see
All of this and what it means
You've become so bitter
For the sake of your sanity
It won't resolve
If you just learn to breathe, again
You never had the nerve to begin with
You think you're better alone
Seeking safety or something to blame
You feel so hollow
You could swear that you've grown
Its as big as your dream
You've become so bitter
For the sake of your sanity
It won't resolve
If you just learn to breathe, again
You never had the nerve to begin with
You think you're better alone
Got to come to your senses
For the sake of your sanity
It won't resolve
If you just learn to breathe, again
You think you're better alone
It won't resolve..

HA... first one to comment thats amazing, first for me, haha
anyways great song, great album, great band
i think its got to do with a break up
anyone else got another interpretation?
I think it's about a break up as well. The narrator wants to get back with the person because they're better off being together, but the other is too stubborn and thinks it's 'better alone'.The person has changed for the worse because they're trying to do everything themseleves, which honestly can't be done.
Well that's my point of view, anyways.
It should be "It won't hurt a soul" rather than "It won't resolve" in the chorus. Great song though
