Because I don't want to feel what I'm feeling,
You just walked into my life,
As I'd barely started healing,
And yet here you are before me,
I don't need to waste time on 'love',
It'll end the way it always did,
And I've simpley had enough,
I don't want to face that pain again,
Nor be the one that hurts you,
They always say it could be different,
But that never has been true,
I'd only push you away,
If you wanted to be let in,
I'd love to have you there,
But we'd still never win,
I'm just always so numb now,
So cold... Like a stone,
I've finally come to realise that,
I'm better off alone.

Better Off Alone

I don't want to see your face,
Because I don't want to feel what I'm feeling,
You just walked into my life,
As I'd barely started healing,
And yet here you are before me,
I don't need to waste time on 'love',
It'll end the way it always did,
And I've simpley had enough,
I don't want to face that pain again,
Nor be the one that hurts you,

But that never has been true,
I'd only push you away,
If you wanted to be let in,
I'd love to have you there,
But we'd still never win,
I'm just always so numb now,
So cold... Like a stone,
I've finally come to realise that,
I'm better off alone.

Better off alone, no, surely not!! You sound as if you've had some bad experiences with love and are at the stage where you don't need the hassle that comes with it. Excellent write. Love it!
Take care, Chris.
