I used to think I needed someone to complete me
That I was half of a whole, searching for my other half
I let my heart get the best of me, let love cloud my judgment
Ignored the red flags, the warning signs, the voices in my head

But now I know I'm better off alone
No need for someone to make me feel at home
I'm done with chasing love, done with the pain
I'm finally free to live my own lane

I used to walk on eggshells, afraid to make a sound
Worried I'd set him off, that I'd never be good enough
I gave up my dreams, my passions, my identity
Just to please him, to keep him happy

But now I know I'm better off alone
No need for someone to make me feel at home
I'm done with chasing love, done with the pain
I'm finally free to live my own lane

I'm not perfect, I know I have my flaws
But I'm worthy of love, without the drama and the claws
I deserve to be treated with respect, to be cherished and adored
Not controlled and manipulated, put down and ignored

So I'm walking away, I'm taking back my life
I'm choosing me for once and ending this strife
I'm better off alone, I'm finally free
I'm starting a new chapter, just me and me

I'm better off alone, I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone, I'm finally home
