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
