lyrics

I wasn't ready for the run-in, baby
You made me wonder if I'd ever drink again
I could barely get the words out
In another situation maybe
We would've never really been much more than friends
But I know that we'd have never worked out

Don't know what is right 'cuz you kept me guessing
Every day and night, now I've learned my lesson
Sometimes it's just better to be alone

You feel the need to have a better half
Right now you think it's me but that just makes me
Oh that makes me laugh
Because it's easy to say that you miss me
When you never showed up at my door
I thought that seeing you was a sign
But it was just a reminder that I
Don't need you anymore

It was once immediate attraction
I thought your eyes would run me over like a train
And I was ready for the impact
But later on we lost the satisfaction
You wanted something but could never quite explain
That our relationship was hijacked

I was not enough so you sent me packing
Then someone showed up who had what I was lacking
Sometimes it's just better to be alone

You feel the need to have a better half
Right now you think it's me but that just makes me
Oh that makes me laugh
Because it's easy to say that you miss me
When you never showed up at my door
I thought that seeing you was a sign
But it was just a reminder that I

I don't mind, I don't mind
If you don't take up another minute of my time
I'd be fine
'Cuz what you don't seem to realize, oh
Honestly I gave you all of me
But I didn't get anything back from you

Not long ago I dreamed about this moment
About my chance to win you back with poetry
I just had to get the words out
Nothing came because my worst opponent
The one standing in my way was me
Honesty just had to be the bailout

Wanted you to know this ain't gonna happen
I've had time to grow, to recap and
Sometimes it's just better to be alone

You feel the need to have a better half
Right now you think it's me but that just makes me
Oh that makes me laugh
Because it's easy to say that you miss me
When you never showed up at my door
I thought that seeing you was a sign
But it was just a reminder that I
Don't need you anymore.
