Rather Be Lonely Lyrics

Lyrics to Rather Be Lonely
Slamming doors, pedals floored
Nothing but taillight red
On repeat, losing sleep
Every night in this bed
Now you're a couple drinks in
Two in the a.m., saying we should patch things up
Forget about the leaving
Kiss and call it even, I know what you're thinking, but

I'd rather be lonely
Uh-oh
Sitting at the end of an empty bar
Both hands on a cold drink, yeah
Uh-oh
Letting that jukebox break my heart
Yeah, baby, just me, myself and Jack
It ain't that hard not wanting you back
Even if you were the only
Uh-oh
I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be lonely

Waking up, still half drunk
Forever all by myself
Go through life, living just like
I'll never find someone else
Love ain't a light switch
Can't turn it off, then try and turn it right back on
Baby, a goodbye is only good one time
Even if the love ain't gone

I'd rather be lonely
Uh-oh
Sitting at the end of an empty bar
Both hands on a cold drink
Uh-oh
Letting that jukebox break my heart
Yeah, baby, just me, myself and Jack
It ain't that hard not wanting you back
Even if you were the only
Uh-oh
I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be
I'd rather be lonely

Ooh, ooh, how you gonna leave like that? Yeah
Ooh, ooh, calling me up trying to take it all back
Now you're a couple drinks in
Two in the a.m., saying we should patch things up
Forget about the leaving
Kiss and call it even, I know what you're thinking, but

I'd rather be lonely
Uh-oh
Sitting at the end of an empty bar
Both hands on a cold drink
Uh-oh
Letting that jukebox break my heart
Yeah, baby, just me, myself and Jack
It ain't that hard not wanting you back
Even if you were the only
Uh-oh
I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be lonely
Uh-oh

I'd rather be
I'd rather be lonely
Uh-oh
I'd rather be
Yeah, baby, just me, myself and Jack
It ain't that hard not wanting you back
Even if you were the only
Uh-oh
I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be lonely
