You say sometimes it's like I hardly know you

And maybe there's some things I never showed you

Sometimes you're certain

But just can't get it working at all

You say to yourself somebody better

Will understand you more than I ever

I'll shake his hand and smile

And say I understand well I do

That don't mean I don't think about you

I know we

Said it's just as well that I won't keep

Keep you for myself

But I don't want to see you happier

With somebody else

Oh why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

I know you need someone too

This just feels so soon

I know some things should just stay broken

I'm well aware this should remain unspoken

But I've been working on the things

That I was learning all wrong oh

I know sometimes I only twist ya

And maybe I'm too proud to say I missed ya

But what if here and now

I tell you that I'm all figured out

Or maybe I just like how that sounds

I know we

Said it's just as well that I won't keep

Keep you for myself

But I don't want to see you happier

With somebody else

Oh why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

I know you need someone too

This just feels so

And I know it seems beneath me

But sometimes it's not so easy

To wish you well and let you go

And I say it's just as well

That I just can't keep you for myself

I don't want to see you happier with somebody else

Oh lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you just be lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

This just feels so

This just feels so

Feels so soon

Lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you be

Lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

Why can't you be

Lonely lo-lonely lo-lonely

This just feels so

This just feels so

This just feels so soon
