I’d Rather Be Lonely Alone

I’d rather be lonely alone
Than be lonely tonight with you.
You’re killing me bit by bit
With everything you do.

Your wondering mind is wandering
And you’re little more than a stray.
I worry over who you’re with
When you walk from our home everyday.

The phone calls you try to hide
And your evasive replies
Are the stuff of shoddy fiction
Half truths and outright lies.

I’d rather be lonely alone
Than be lonely tonight with you.
But try and give me a reason
To think you can be true.

It’s crazy to sit night after night
Listening for your key in the door
Hoping you’ll finally come home
And love me like you did before.

I try to convince myself
My mind’s playing tricks on me
And I’ve no reason to fear
But no one’s so blind as he who will not see.

I’d rather be lonely alone
Than be lonely tonight with you.
I’ve tried and I’ve tried to believe you
But there’s nothing more I can do.

I’d rather be lonely alone
Than be lonely tonight with you.
I’d rather be lonely alone
Than be lonely tonight with you.
