Better Alone is better I will never be let down again By love or a friend Better Alone is better To have no one on whom I can depend Just me to the end Brick by brick I take my time building my walls Bloody hands Battered heart Until I fall on the very last part All in all the ground's never really been that far The wind roars and I accept my fate My breath steals as a string snaps into place And we find ourselves face to face Tied to you Tied to you I never knew Every moment would come to this And just when I thought I was through You walked in and I made room You hold your hands out amidst the storm Wrap your arms around me despite the thorns My burdens - they don't feel as heavy And as I burn, you hold me steady I don't I say I don't Care if someone can learn to love me 'Cause with time, love just means goodbye But you don't waiver as you hold All my pieces, cutting into you like knives Like you'd do this for life Brick by brick I take my time building my walls Bloody hands Battered heart Until I fall on the very last part All in all the ground's never really been that far The wind roars and I accept my fate My breath steals as a string snaps into place And we find ourselves face to face Tied to you Tied to you I never knew Every moment would come to this And just when I thought I was through You walked in and I made room You hold your hands out amidst the storm Wrap your arms around me despite the thorns My burdens - they don't feel as heavy And as I burn, you hold me steady Hold me You hold me steady Hold me Hold me (You don't waiver as you hold) (Oh, you hold me steady) Hold me (I accept my fate as a string snaps into place) (Oh, you hold me) Hold me Hold me As we find ourselves face to face
