I’m Better off Alone

Intro:

(A melancholic piano melody plays softly, gradually building with a steady drumbeat. The tone is reflective, carrying the weight of past heartbreaks.)

Verse 1:

Once I believed in love, gave it all I had,

But every time I fell, I ended up feeling sad.

She promised me forever, said she'd never stray,

But lies and deceit led my heart astray.

Pre-Chorus:

Every tear, every night, spent wondering why,

I gave my all, but all she did was lie.

Now I'm picking up the pieces of what’s left,

Realizing love just brings regret.

Chorus:

I’m better off alone, no more games to play,

Love’s a losing bet, so I’ll walk away.

No more broken hearts, no more tears to cry,

In my solitude, I’ll find the sky.

Better off alone, no more chasing dreams,

Love’s a fading light, or so it seems.

Interlude:

(A haunting guitar solo weaves through the silence, echoing the emptiness and pain of the broken promises. The music sways with a sense of finality, yet there’s a glimmer of peace in the decision made.)

Verse 2:

She had me wrapped around her finger, so blind,

But now I see the truth, love’s been so unkind.

I used to think that love was all I’d ever need,

But now I know it only makes my heart bleed.

Pre-Chorus:

Every word, every kiss, now feels so far away,

I’ve learned the hard way, love leads me astray.

So I’m building walls around this heart of mine,

No more trusting in love’s fleeting sign.

Chorus:

I’m better off alone, no more games to play,

Love’s a losing bet, so I’ll walk away.

No more broken hearts, no more tears to cry,

In my solitude, I’ll find the sky.

Better off alone, no more chasing dreams,

Love’s a fading light, or so it seems.

Bridge:

(The music quiets down, almost to a whisper, as the realization sinks in. The acceptance of being alone, and the strength found in that choice, resonates deeply.)

I’ve found my peace in solitude’s embrace,

No more running in love’s endless race.

I’m free at last, from love’s cruel game,

Alone, but free from all the shame.

Chorus:

I’m better off alone, no more games to play,

Love’s a losing bet, so I’ll walk away.

No more broken hearts, no more tears to cry,

In my solitude, I’ll find the sky.

Better off alone, no more chasing dreams,

Love’s a fading light, or so it seems.

Outro:

(The piano returns, softly playing as the music fades into silence. The final notes linger, symbolizing the end of love’s painful journey and the beginning of a peaceful solitude.)

Better off alone, I’ve found my way,

In my own company, I’ll stay.
