Loneliness awaits me, I can feel the hurt begin
Misery and an empty heart will be my closest friend
Searching for tomorrow will be my goal today
Right or wrong, weak or strong, I'll do it my own way

For I'd rather be
Lonely without you than be a fool by your side
Willingly I gave my heart and you took me for a ride
I couldn't see you were using me but baby I got wise
And I'd rather be lonely without you
Than be a fool by your side

Loving you was easy, I fell without regret
But having you to myself was what I couldn't get
Leaving you might change your ways but you'd still be all alone
But it's too late, it's your mistake
Now you'll find me gone

For I'd rather be
Lonely without you than be a fool by your side
Willingly I gave my heart and you took me for a ride
I couldn't see you were using me, but baby I got wise
And I'd rather be lonely without you
Than be a fool by your side

And I'd rather be lonely without you
Than be a fool by your side
