Lyrics
Better Than Being Alone
This isn't the life with you that I had planned
As I sit here just trying to get stoned
While I talk to your picture I hold in my hand
'Cos it's better than being alone
There's a bottle of whiskey but it's nearly dry
As I play back the tape on the phone
I just hear your voice as you're saying goodbye
Still it's better than being alone
Yes it's sad when the good loving's over its true
And sadder to know we are through
But I'm getting over the heartache I knew
By believing that I'm still with you
I listen to the records that we used to play
They bring back the memories we've known
And it's only my mind that brings you my way
Yet it's better than being alone
As I wait on tomorrow to bring a new day
I think of the love we've outgrown
Yet I go on pretending I'll meet you halfway
Cos it's better than being alone
