Lyrics

better alone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Nobody wants to be

Nobody wants to be the one to walk away

Nobody wants to see

Nobody wants to see the truth, then let it in, run away

Nobody wants to know

Nobody wants to know the ways they don't love you right

They don't love you right

So when you hold me tightly, all night

Ooh, baby, I feel like something's not right

When you hold me tightly like that

Ooh, baby, I know, mmm

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely

Nobody wants to bleed

Nobody wants to bleed, but everybody hurts

Nobody wants to blame

Nobody wants the shame of knowing they're the ones that made it worse

What are we gonna do?

What are we gonna do when makin' love don't make it right?

It don't make it right

So when you hold me tightly, all night

Ooh, baby, I feel like something's not right

When you hold me tightly like that

Ooh, baby, I know

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely

And it's gonna be a long night

Nobody to hold tight

I'm waking up on your side

And I can't decide

It's gonna be a long night

Nobody to hold tight

I'm waking up on your side

And I can't decide

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, I'm better all alone)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, I'm better all alone)

I'm better alone than lonely here with you

So lonely here

I'm better alone than lonely

Lonely, I'm better all alone

Lonely, I'm better all alone
