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 in to another mistake

I'm taking my time
I know what I mean
I've made up my mind
Now I believe
It's better to be lonely
One look and I'm given out my number
One kiss and I'm calling you mine
Next thing I know we're going under
Why do I leave at misery
I think I believe
It's better to be lonely

They used to say fools rush in
And I swear I've been the fool that wanted someone else
To make me whole
I don't mind hanging out with me I like the company
Someday I'll find someone who can move my soul

Til then
Til then
I'm not jumping in again

I'm taking my time
I know what I mean
I've made up my mind
Now I believe
It's better to be lonely
One look and I'm given out my number
One kiss and I'm calling you mine
Next thing I know we're going under
Why do I leave at misery
I think I believe
It's better to be lonely
I'm not sayin' no one never
I just know there's something better

Jump in
Don't wait
Hurry in to another mistake

I'm taking my time
I know what I mean
I've made up my mind
Now I believe
It's better to be lonely
One look and I'm given out my number
One kiss and I'm calling you mine
Next thing I know we're going under
Why do I leave at misery
I think I believe
It's better to be lonely
