**"Better Off Alone"** *(Remix
• Written by koolaidman
JUST A KID
They said time heals, but the clock just laughs,
Still carrying pain in a backpack full of my past.
Every smile I fake disappears when the night's here,
Talking to the ceiling 'cause nobody else might care.
I gave my heart away just to watch it get replaced,
Now every memory feels like another cold case.
I don't hate you—I just hate what we became,
Trying to wash these scars, but they still know my name.
I keep replaying every word inside my head,
Wondering if I would've changed what we said.
Too many sleepless nights, too many silent cries,
Looking in the mirror, barely recognize my eyes.
Everybody says I'm stronger than I know,
But strength feels heavy when you're walking all alone.
So I keep moving even when my soul feels numb,
Praying that tomorrow finally lets the light come.
If I'm better off alone, why's this room so loud?
Why do these memories keep hiding in the crowd?
I built these walls just to keep the hurt outside,
But somehow all the pain still found a place to hide.
Maybe one day I'll forgive what I can't forget,
Trade these rainy days for a sunrise I ain't met.
Until then, I'll keep writing every scar into these lines,
Hoping broken hearts can still survive the test of time.
