I could stop right here turn this car around
Walk back through the door put my suitcase down
Tell you I'm sorry and things would be alright I know
But it all comes down to the lesser of two
Alone by myself or alone with you
And if I have to be lonely
I'd rather be lonely alone

I'd rather miss someone out on this highway
Than someone who's sittin'
Just three feet away
And I'd rather be fightin' some old memories
Than to wonder if you ever really loved me

I could keep going on
Like I have all along
Telling myself that there's nothin' wrong
But if I have to be lonely
I'd rather be lonely alone

I'd rather miss someone out on this highway
Than someone who's sittin'
Just three feet away
And I'd rather be fightin' some old memories
Than to wonder if you ever really loved me

I don't know what I'll do
I don't know where I'll go
There's a lot I'm not sure of but one thing I know
If I have to be lonely
I'd rather be lonely alone
If I have to be lonely
I'd rather be lonely alone
