[Verse 1]

I know you're not feeling too well

The walls of this home are an empty shell

So I'll burn my time, to make it through

I have nothing better to do

And I know this feeling too well

If I could leave this, escape to a hotel

Then I could blur my eyes

And dream of blue skies, dream of blue skies

[Chorus]

For once in my life I will be alone

Alone

And I've learned I do better on my own

My own

[Verse 2]

From a broken classroom window I see

The suburban streets are under me

A reminder of transparent people I knew

Is that your idea of a good view?

And the cracks in the crimson tinted walls

Provide an exit to the halls

Where I can sleep under a streetlight

Waiting for the end of a cold autumn night

[Chorus]

And for once in my life I will be alone

Alone

And I've learned I do better on my own

My own

[Bridge]

The linoleum floor is so cold like before

These fluorescent hallways can’t glow anymore

[Chorus]

For once in my life I will be alone

Alone

And I've learned I do better on my own

My own

I spent my energy climbing up the stairs

And I'm aware

That my headaches form my back-lit nightmares

Up there
