Better Alone Lyrics by Elli Ingram

Love You Really

2017

[Verse 1]
Tell them I can't make it
I'm not in the mood tonight for you
It's nothing personal
Ain't no drama when I'm naked in my bed alone
Floating free with just my own company

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Playing the music I love
Moving the way I feel
A warm heart and whiskey
Sometimes it's better alone

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm keeping the door closed tonight
Oh, I'm, yeah I'm keeping the door closed tonight

[Verse 2]
Always something going wrong when there's more than just one invited
So I'll just play on my own
Crowded places, all the faces sometimes get too much
I'd rather be just with my own company

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Lights out and no one's listening
Dressed up to dance solo
A warm heart and whiskey
Sometimes it's better alone

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm keeping the door closed tonight
Oh, I'm, yeah I'm keeping the door closed tonight

[Bridge]
Don't you hate it when I don't pick up the phone
Well I'm curled in my bed with my green all on my own
I'll call you back, just leave your message after the tone
Please, just let me spend this evening alone, alone

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm keeping the door closed tonight
Oh, I'm keeping the door closed tonight
Oh, I'm, yeah, I'm keeping the door closed tonight

[Outro]
Alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone
Alone, alone, alone
I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
