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 into another mistake 

I'm taking my time, I know what I mean 
I made up my mind, now I believe 
It's better to be lonely 

One look and I'm giving out my number 
One kiss and I'm calling you mine 
The next thing I know I'm going under 
Why do I need that misery, I think I believe 
It's better to be lonely 

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

?Til then, ?til then 
I'm not jumping in again 

I'm taking my time, I know what I mean 
I made up my mind, now I believe 
It's better to be lonely 

One look and I'm giving out my number 
One kiss and I'm calling you mine 
The next thing I know I'm going under 
Why do I need that misery, I think I believe 
It's better to be lonely 

I'm not saying now or never 
I just know there's something better yeah?
