Loneliness Is Better Than Heartbreak

from Broken Window by Rue Snider

/

lyrics

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
But tonight I've got heartbreak and I don't know what to do
I've got a bottle of whiskey I know that I shouldn't be drinking
But at the bottom is loneliness if I can just make it through

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
She left 17 seconds ago but it feels like it's been years
If I had asked her to stay what kind of man would that make me
Pleading with a woman whose intentions were clear

She didn't deserve all the things that I wanted to give her
She didn't believe she'd ever be happy with one
She wanted to have her past and her present together
So I had to leave even though we weren't done

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
Heartbreak will get you to do things you shouldn't do
Like later I'll be trying to fuck every woman in Brooklyn
Then again when I'm lonely I pretty much just do that too

Loneliness is better than heartbreak
I've had them both so believe what I tell you is true
The only thing I've found that makes me feel any better
Ever at all
Is knowing that somewhere she's a bit heartbroken too

She didn't deserve all the things that I wanted to give her
She didn't believe that she'd ever be happy with one
She wanted to have her past and her present together
So I had to leave even though we weren't done
