about

Being alone ain't so bad

lyrics

Even Better - Elle McAndrews

You come home at 3 O’clock in the morning
Cuz’ you been workin’ so damn hard
There’s no time to pay heed to my yearnin’
You’re too busy for matters of the heart

When we go out for a bite,
you don’t have much to say
Unless I ask you about work
And then it’s all ok
Do you even know what I do with my time?
I been looking out for myself and I’m fine

I’m beginning to like
Being with myself
Even better than hanging with you
The solitude holds me and I
Feel like it knows me
even better than you do

I know you put the hours in
But you’re never at home
And I was tired of cryin’
About being alone
Every once in a while
I still feel that ache
and the missin’ you shows up
But it does go away

I’m beginning to like
Being with myself
Even better than hanging with you
My friends - they all know me
They hear all my woes
They know my secrets more than you do

I think I’ve gotten quite, fond of myself
I drink, and I smoke, and I sing and I don’t
Worry about you not calling me
I’m kinda busy now, doing things for me

I’m beginning to like
Being with myself
Even better than hanging with you
The solitude holds me and I
Feel like it knows me
even better than you do
A loneliness calls me, I oblige it politely
Oh it knows me better than you
