A new year, I am better off alone,
You're talking to me on the phone,
Everything is "baby, I adore you so."
Your mouth is full of praise and promise,
It spills from your lips with sincerity.
I am better off alone.
I do not mention lies and hurt,
I hurt you more than you could hurt me.
How do you hurt a statue of a girl?
Brown hair, glitter, high heels.
Cold hands, cold heart, cold blood.
I am better off alone.
Lines of cocaine on your desk,
Strangers with intentions I cannot be sure of,
But you never tell me these things.
I'm a clever girl I can tell on my own.
White powder in your pockets, in your nose.
I am better off alone.
You speak quickly with excitement,
Nothing but sweet reunions soon.
When we come back from holiday homes,
Your pockets full of your dirty money,
Gorgeous artist's hands full of gifts for me.
I am better off alone.
Long fingers griping a white gold ring.
A white gold ring from white powder.
The year is over, you're the same.
Strange and new and holding on too tight.
If the ring is on my finger, I'm stuck.
I am better off alone, I am better off alone.
Afterall, it's a new year. |
