From the recording Lonely Over You
Lyrics
I gave you your last second chance
‘cause I was too scared to walk away
But, now I’ve given all I’m gonna give
And, I’m not too scared today
And, yeah, I know I’m in for hard times
But, it can’t compare to what you’ve put me through
And even though I know I’ll be alone
I’ll take lonely over you
I’ll take lonely over you
Seems like the only thing to do
‘cause I ain’t gonna hang around
To see what else you put me through
They say the devil that you know
It beats the devil that you don’t
I just don’t believe that’s true
So, I’ll take lonely over you
You won’t ever see my face again
Because I plan to disappear
And, just to make sure that you know I’m gone
I left a note taped to your beer
And, now I’m headed out to find me
I’m not on a search for someone else
I’ve been lonely for so long with you
I wanna try lonely by myself
Well, when you get home from work tonight, you prob’ly won’t believe I’m really gone
But, you better start believing, and, you better believe that I won’t be lonely long
So, I’ll take lonely over you
Seems like the only thing to do
‘cause I ain’t gonna hang around
To see what else you put me through
They say the devil that you know
It beats the devil that you don’t
Well, I just don’t believe that’s true
So, I’ll take lonely over you
If I have to pick between the two
I’ll take lonely over you
