Better Than Alone Lyrics

Had one of those bad days
He had left me a scar
One of those where the sun don't shine
Like she used to
Had one of those bad dreams
And I woke up in a sweat
And I rolled into nothing
And onto no one

So lay me down with a ghost
'Cause anything's better than alone
And how do I save what's over
Tell me how do I live on my own

Woke up in a church
Some guy
Filling me in on life
What a bore if it's all that simple
See I'd marry the search
Wedding bells if the search had a soul
But today
I know that it's not that simple

Had one of those bad days
He had left me a scar
One of those where the sun don't shine
Like she used to
Had one of those bad dreams
And I woke up in a sweat
And I rolled into nothing
And onto no one

So lay me down with a ghost
'Cause anything's better than alone
And how do I save what's over
Tell me how do I live on my own

I'll question for you
Did you really believe in me
Or was I
Just a blanket for you to hold on to
See I'm all out of word
Should I call it a night
One of those
Where the moon don't shine like she used to

So lay me down with a ghost
Lay me down with a ghost
So lay me down with a ghost
'Cause anything's better than alone
And how do I save what's over
Tell me how do I live on my own
So lay me down with a ghost
'Cause anything's better than alone
And how do I save what's over
Tell me how do I love on my own

When anything's better than alone
Oh, anything's better than alone
Anything's better than alone
Oh, anything's better than alone

It's pretty obvious what it's about, really. A mistake he can't take back; the loss of a lover he can't get over. He hates being alone, clearly. The part of marrying the search gives it away pretty well, I think. Any oppositions?
