Way back then, I didn't mind when people walked in my life
Started to care, but was never aware that I'd end up in strife
High school sounded so exciting, but it hasn't come to be
And I know I set a bad example, I'm guessing it's plain to see
I'll start to find some good in things
I'm learning right from wrong, I turn mistakes into songs
And now, the realization sets in, there might be a ball to catch
And I will know that my heart will still grow
And you don't have to make your love be shown
Sometimes you're just better off on your own
Rounding third and heading home, running toward my goals
Hit it out the park all the way to Rome
Or buying tickets to the Super Bowl
'Cause I'll stick with the things I like
That'll make me happy
I could drive my car or ride my bike down a city alley
So the moral of the story is...
I'm learning right from wrong, I turn mistakes into songs
And now, the realization sets in, there might be a ball to catch
And I will know that my heart will still grow
And you don't have to make your love be shown
Sometimes you're just better off on your own
Young love is just an intently intimate way of being friendly
So I can't take being a stranger
'Cause I can't find myself in danger
So I'll be a changer
And learn right from wrong, I'll turn mistakes into songs
And now, the realization sets in, there might be a ball to catch
And I will know that my heart continues to grow
And I don't have to make my love be shown
I know I'm just better off on my own
Cause sometimes you're just better off on your own
