[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
