Lyrics
It's the hardest thing I've had to do .
Walk away from years with you .
A thousand reasons I should stay, only one to walk away .
I?m tired of making meals for two,
that just get cold as I wait for you.
Another night of TV to keep me company.
(CHORUS)
I'd rather be lonely alone, than lonely with you . To stare at these four walls and not know if you?re there .
Not knowing if you want me, not knowing if you care .
I'd rather be lonely alone, than lonely with you . .
I know you need time with the boys .
But I can't be your background noise .
If this is how it?s gonna be, then what?s the point of love?
I turn the TV up a touch,
play my music louder too .
It really doesn't take that much to make up for missing you.
(CHORUS)
(guitar solo)
(CHORUS)
