"Better Off Lonely" lyrics

"Better Off Lonely"

How many hours can I go on without her
Cause I'm 5 in now and it seems somehow that I'm supposed to stand
How many miles to drive away her smile I'm only 50 in
And it's creeping in

It's hard to breathe
It's hard to breathe

How long were you planning on doing this?
How hard would it be for you to clue me in?
From the start you should 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
Cause damn it I'm better off lonely
I'm better off lonely

I don't have the answers
And I'm still wondering 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

It's hard to breathe
It's hard to breathe

How long were you planning on doing this?
How hard would it be for you to clue me in?
From the start you should 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

How long were you planning on doing this?
How hard would it be for you to clue me in?
From the start you should 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
