Finally found a better way to, really help myself After all those years I wasted, sitting on the shelf You were gone and I was waiting, bracing for the call Any time I had the chance to, I would drop it all Now you’re gone (gone away to) Say it’s only temporary You’re gone (she’s gone away to) It’s already January (so long) I'm feeling tired lately (so long) It’s been this way for way too long (so long) It’s got me lonely baby (so long) But I know I'm better off alone Better off alone Better off alone Better off alone Now I need another person, to make me do my chores Really just another human, to slap me when I'm bored I was young and sick of waiting, in line for someone else Actin’ like it didn’t phase me, hopin’ you couldn’t tell Now you’re gone (gone away to) Say it’s only temporary You’re gone (she’s gone away to) (she’s gone away) Gone away too long (she’s gone away) (so long) I'm feeling tired lately (so long) It’s been this way for way too long (she’s gone away) (so long) It’s got me lonely baby (so long) But I know I'm better off alone (I'm feeling tired lately) Better off alone (It’s been this way for way too long) Better off alone (It’s got me lonely baby) Better off alone
