​better lonely Lyrics by Britton

2020

[Intro]
Maybe I'm better lonely

[Verse 1]
Do you know me the way you say you do?
Or do you only know what you want to
When you slowly cut me up deep like a knife?
You are slowly taking over in my head
A new coding, everything inside we said
I can only see myself through tainted eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Be careful with what you say
Every little word will resonate
No voice or reason to debate
I've never tried to pay
But holding on only leads me to isolate
But if everything is true 'bout what you say

[Chorus]
Thеn maybe I'm better lonеly
I'm starting to think I am
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
Tell me what you hate about me
The things that make me who I am
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I'm better lonely
Maybe I'm better lonely

[Verse 2]
Do you notice how soon my smile fades on my own lips
When you put me on display with the focus?
You're bringing my flaws into light (Bring my flaws into light)
Can't revoke it, every blow is on my plate and they won't quit
How can I be the one to blame from all this?
I let your thoughts take over mine (They're taking over mine)

[Pre-Chorus]
Be careful with what you say
Every little word will resonate
No voice or reason to debate (Reason to debate)
I've never tried to pay
But holding on only leads me to isolate
But if everything is true 'bout what you say

[Chorus]
Then maybe I'm better lonely
I'm starting to think I am
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
Tell me what you hate about me
The things that make me who I am
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I'm better lonely
Maybe I'm better lonely

[Bridge]
If I let go of everyone around me and I'm alone
All is left is who I see in my shadow
Will I be happy or am I my own worst enemy?
If I let go of everyone around me and I'm alone
All is left is who I see in my shadow
Will I be happy or am I my own worst enemy?

[Chorus]
Then maybe I'm better lonely
I'm starting to think I am
'Cause all you ever do is try to hurt me just because you can
Tell me what you hate about me
The things that make me who I am
Wonder if they're the reason everybody leaves me in the end?

[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I'm better lonely
Maybe I'm better lonely
Maybe I'm better lonely
Maybe I'm better lonely
