I hear it on the radio everywhere I go 

They tell me I'm a loser to be alone 

The silver screen and Seventeen say I'm supposed to be 

2 not 1 in a lifetime of afterglow 



Don't wait, don't wait 

Hurry into another mistake 



I'm taking my time, I know what I mean 

I made up my mind, now I believe 

It's better to be lonely 



One look and I'm giving out my number 

One kiss and I'm calling you mine 

The next thing I know I'm going under 

Why do I need that misery, I think I believe 

It's better to be lonely 



They used to say that fools rush in and I swear I've been 

The fool that wanted someone else to make me whole 

And I don't mind hanging out with me, I like the company 

Someday I'll find someone who will move my soul 



'Til then, 'til then 

I'm not jumping in again 



I'm taking my time, I know what I mean 

I made up my mind, now I believe 

It's better to be lonely 



One look and I'm giving out my number 

One kiss and I'm calling you mine 

The next thing I know I'm going under 

Why do I need that misery, I think I believe 

It's better to be lonely 



I'm not saying now or never 

I just know there's something better yeah?
