Lyrics

I never gave a reason

I never provided an explanation

Of why I didn't call

For why I didn't make a phone call

Now I've grown so tired

Now, I've become exhausted

Of lying to myself

From deceiving myself

It cannot go unsaid

It must be acknowledged

I regret what they know

I feel remorse for what others are aware of

Don't think it's all been a waste of time

Don't believe it's all wasted time


Are you better off alone? Stop lying to yourself

Questioning if being alone is a better choice, urging honesty with oneself

I regret what was said I deny what they know

Expressing remorse for spoken words, denying known information

Are you better off alone?

Repeating the question of whether being alone is a preferable state


Those that we admired

Referring to those admired in the past

All stood their ground and cried

They maintained their position and expressed emotions

I didn't start the fire

Claiming innocence in causing a disturbance

I just tried to see your eyes

Attempting to understand another person's perspective

It cannot go unsaid

It must be acknowledged

I only want you to know

Desiring the recipient to be aware

I think it's all going to

Optimistic view that things will eventually be fine

Work out fine

(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics)


Are we Better Off Alone (you better off alone?)

Pondering if it's better to be alone

Than lying to ourselves

Than deceiving oneself

Who cares what they've said?

Expressing indifference towards others' opinions

Who cares what they know?

Disregarding what others are aware of

Are we better off alone

Questioning if being alone is a better option


I know that my love I'll send

Assuring the transmission of love

Could we still be friends?

Asking if friendship is still possible

But this is the end

Indicating the end of a relationship


I think it's all going to work out fine

Optimistic belief that everything will be fine

We're better off alone (You better off alone)

Reiterating the idea of being better off alone

Than lying to ourselves

Than deceiving oneself

I regret what you say

Feeling regret for spoken words

I don't care what I know

Not concerned with personal knowledge

Don't say it's all been a waste of time

Denying that everything was a waste of time

Are you better off alone (send my love)

Questioning if the person is better off alone

Stop lying to yourself (send my love)

Encouraging honesty with oneself

It cannot go unsaid (send my love)

It must be acknowledged

I only want you to know (to yooou)

Desiring the recipient to be aware

It cannot go unsaid,

It must be acknowledged

I only want you to know,

Desiring the recipient to be aware

I think it's all going to work out fine.

Optimistic belief that everything will be fine
