Better Off Lonely

[Verse 1]
How many hours can I go on without her?
'Cause I'm five in now, and it seems somehow that I'm supposed to stand
How many miles to drive away her smile?
I'm only fifty in, and it's creepin' in

[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe

[Chorus]
How long were you plannin' on doing this?
How hard would it be for you to clue me in?
From the start you should've told me
'Cause I'd be better off lonely
When the hell did I ever not treat you right?
Long strung out days and sleepless nights
From the start you should've told me
Damn it, I'm better off lonely
I'm better off lonely

[Verse 2]
I don't have the answers, and I'm still wonderin' if you ever did
And if you ever miss
When we had nothing, just lying next to where that oak tree sits
Is it supposed to hurt like this?

[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to breathe, it's hard to breathe

[Chorus]
How long were you plannin' on doing this?
How hard would it be for you to clue me in?
From the start you should've told me
'Cause I'd be better off lonely
When the hell did I ever not treat you right?
Long strung out days and sleepless nights
From the start you should've told me
Damn it, I'm better off lonely
I'm better off lonely

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
How long were you plannin' on doing this?
How hard would it be for you to clue me in?
From the start you should've told me
I'd be better off lonely
When the hell did I ever not treat you right?
Long strung out days and sleepless nights
From the start you should've told me
Damn it, I'm better off lonely
I'm better off lonely
I'm better off lonely, better off lonely
