Better Off Alone Lyrics
One thing I'm wondering
When you run out of friends
Will you be coming back home
Let's think this through again
Let's take a different spin
Why can't I leave you alone
Somewhere tonight
You may be found
With some other girl you've been dragging around
You lied to yourself
You lied to me
It seems like the truth is your worst enemy
'Cause baby I'm tired
I'm tired of the fight
I'm tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights
It's taken some time
'Cause I didn't know
If I could ever let you go
You helped me figure it out
I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone
Yes I am
I may be found somewhere tonight
Cursing the day you walked into my life
But what's done is done
I can't change time
But I'll be damned if I'm not gonna try
Oh, I'm gonna try
But, baby I'm tired
I'm tired of the fight
I'm tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights
It's taken some time
'Cause I didn't know
If I could ever let you go
You helped me figure it out
I'm better off alone
But every now and then
My heart gives in
To the hope the someday you'll change
Then alone I'll wake
To my own mistakes
That is just the foolish game
I'm tired
Tired of the fight
I'm tired of the lonely lonely lonely days
And the dark endless nights
You didn't think
'Cause you didn't know
That I'd find the strength to let
Let you go
I finally figured it out
I'm better off alone
Better off alone
One thing before I go
Something I gotta know
Boy, did you ever love me
When you run out of friends
Will you be coming back home
Let's think this through again
Let's take a different spin
Why can't I leave you alone
Somewhere tonight
You may be found
With some other girl you've been dragging around
You lied to yourself
You lied to me
It seems like the truth is your worst enemy
I'm tired of the fight
I'm tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights
It's taken some time
'Cause I didn't know
If I could ever let you go
I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone
Yes I am
Cursing the day you walked into my life
But what's done is done
I can't change time
But I'll be damned if I'm not gonna try
Oh, I'm gonna try
I'm tired of the fight
I'm tired of the lonely days and the dark endless nights
It's taken some time
'Cause I didn't know
If I could ever let you go
I'm better off alone
My heart gives in
To the hope the someday you'll change
Then alone I'll wake
To my own mistakes
That is just the foolish game
Tired of the fight
I'm tired of the lonely lonely lonely days
And the dark endless nights
You didn't think
'Cause you didn't know
That I'd find the strength to let
Let you go
I finally figured it out
Better off alone
Something I gotta know
Boy, did you ever love me

This is another very touching song by kat. The message is even though she really loved the guy with everything she had, she's thanking him for hurting her and making her realise she's better off without him. She tired of fighting with him constantly and she sick of waiting for him to change and it's obvious that this relashionship isnt gonna work so telling him. I'm better off without you. But she's also asking him in the end " Did u ever love me"? A brilliant song by Kat!
I love this song,I have her cd and this is one of my favorite songs on it, I can relate to it.Most of Katharine Mcphee's songs I can relate to but this song is so me singing this about a guy. In the end she was thinking did he really love me so she asks him.A very great song,it's meaningful and I think all the girls can relate to this song.
So good! It's a very emotional song from Katharine McPhee, like a lot of the songs on the cd. The best part, I think, is: "One thing before I go Something I gotta know Boy, did you ever love me?"
Wonderfull song!
love this song...so sincere. definitely something to listen to when you're just feeling crappy after a breakup
