It's better to be alone
It’s better to be alone,
than lonely.
It’s better to be alone,
than to say goodbye.
It’s better to be alone,
so you won’t be hurt.
It’s better to be alone,
then rejected.
It’s better to be alone,
then forgotten.
It’s better to be alone,
Then abandoned.
It’s better to be alone,
Then cast aside.
It’s better to be alone,
Then left alone.
It’s better to be alone,
So no one will see your tears.
It’s better to be alone,
So no one can see the crumbling walls.
It’s better to be alone,
So no one will see you bleed.
It’s better to be alone,
So no one will care about you.
It’s better to be alone,
So no one can be hurt by you.
It’s better to be alone,
So no one can hurt you.
It’s better to be alone
So that when you leave this place
No tears will be shed,
And there’ll be no pain,
Not because of you,
Not one single tear,
And no one will remember you,
The good, the bad,
The blood you shed,
Every single day
You smiled through,
Every single night
You cried through.
No one will remember you,
Your story,
Your hopes,
Your dreams,
Your pain.
Which is why I now say,
It’s better to never be alone.
It’s better to not be alone,
For someone is there.
It’s better to not be alone,
For when those nights you cry,
You have someone to cry to.
It’s better to not be alone
than alone and rejected,
to know you put in effort,
and so they’re to blame, and not you.
It’s better to not be alone,
To share your story,
To have someone to laugh with,
Someone to smile with.
It’s better to not be alone
For you can’t be lonely,
Or alone,
When someone is there.
You have someone to lean on,
Someone to spend your time with.
The goodbyes will hurt,
The rejection will sting,
Tears will burn,
But that kiss
Could lead to hundreds,
That hug
Could lead to thousands,
That smile
Could lead to millions,
That hello
Could lead to billions.
You never know,
And it’s so worth the risk.
It’s better to not be alone
Than alone,
For it doesn’t hurt as much,
The pain isn’t yours
To carry alone.
That secret burden
Isn’t so heavy.
And the smile,
Coming from you,
Lighting up the room,
Isn’t forced.
And the joy,
In your eyes,
Isn’t fake.
The breathing is easier,
And the pain fades to gray,
It flies away,
Replaced by the wings of love,
Friendship, and happiness.
It’s so much better
To never be alone
Than alone.
