Song Lyrics

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
But tonight I've got heartbreak and I don't know what to do
Got a bottle of whiskey I know I shouldn't be drinking
But at the bottom is loneliness if I can just make it through

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
She left 17 seconds ago but it feels like it's been years
If I had asked her to stay what kind of man would that make me
Pleading with a woman whose intentions were clear

She didn't deserve all the things that I wanted to give her
She didn't believe that she'd ever be happy with one
She wanted to have her past and her present together
So I had to leave even though we weren't done

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
Heartbreak will get you to do things you shouldn't do
Like later I'll be trying to f*ck every woman in Brooklyn
Then again when I'm lonely I pretty much just do that too

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
Well I've had them both so believe what I tell you is true
The only thing I've found that makes me feel any better
Ever at all
Is knowing that somewhere she's a bit heartbroken too

She didn't deserve all the things that I wanted to give her
She didn't believe that she'd ever be happy with one
She wanted to have her past and her present together
So I had to leave even though we weren't done
