Better Alone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Lonely, I'm better all alone
Lonely, I'm better all alone
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

This song seems to be about being with someone but still feeling lonely. And who among us hasn’t felt that at some point? The loneliness that comes from being in a relationship that is not fulfilling, and it can happen in several situations:
Sometimes you’re falling for someone, they want to keep seeing you, but you can tell they don’t feel the same way you do. You think making love might make it right, might make them fall for you too - but it never does.
Sometimes they’re just a friend with benefits, and you just feel profound loneliness after being with them.
Sometimes they’re a platonic friend but you start falling for them and they don’t reciprocate. And who’s to blame? You can’t really blame them for not wanting you.
Until one day you realize the heartache is not worth it and you have to say goodbye.
'I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely) I'm better alone than lonely here with you So lonely here
Lonely, I'm better all alone'
