Better Off Alone

My father gave me some advice He told me "son, you won't survive Unless you earn your dimes And take care of yourself" My mother told me once or twice To watch my back Because my vice is coming swiftly If I'm not careful they might kill me Do you understand the heartbreak you have caused me I try to learn my life in being scared So if you love me Why don't you trust me To do this on my own And if you need me Then once you leave me I'm better off alone Better off alone My friends come few and far between Since I've been living out my dream How can I trust them How can I trust them These days of arm, this time of year Exhumed by all my guilt and fear About a future that will never even be here But do you understand the moments you have cost me By trying to run my life and being scared If you love me Why don't you trust me To do this on my own And if you need me Then once you leave me I'm better off alone Sunday's coming And I'm not running Cause I've got all I need
