Better Off

I've been on my own since 18

Tryna navigate this world I'm in

I never met your expectations

Who were you to tell me how to feel?

You told me, "Get an education"

You said that I'm a waste and that I'd fail

You never came to one of my shows

You told me that I'm wasting all my time

Now I see you textin' my phone

On read for the rest of your damn life

Never had the family to give me what I needed

I've always been a little different, you just couldn't see it

I've been on my own since 18

Tryna navigate this world I'm in

So take me somewhere else, I hate this

I'm a renegade, you're full of shit

And I'm better off alone

I always tried to make you think that

I was really hearing what you said

Didn't you see my eyes glaze over

Every time you told me that my dreams were dead

I don't know where to go from here, but

I'm sick of taking all the worst of it

Talking to me like you got it all figured out

I've never met such a fucking hypocrite

I never had the family to give me what I needed

I've always been a little different, you just couldn't see it

I've been on my own since 18

Tryna navigate this world I'm in

So take me somewhere else, I hate this

I'm a renegade, you're full of shit

And I'm better off alone

I feel like I'm an alien crash-landed, and I can't find my spaceship

'Cause every time I read the news, I wanna hide myself in my basement

I've been on my own since 18

Tryna navigate this world I'm in

(And I'm better off alone)

So take me somewhere else, I hate this

I'm a renegade, you're full of shit

And I'm better off alone

Don't want you callin' my phone

'Cause you never cared at all

You kicked me out of my home

I had nowhere to go

I was just a kid with hopes

But you couldn't see that though

Now I'm doin' fine without you 'cause I'm better off alone
