You say sometimes it's like I hardly know you
And maybe there's some things I never showed you
Sometimes you're certain but you just can't get it working at all
You say to yourself, somebody better
Will understand you more than I ever
I'll shake his hand and smile and say I understand
And while I do
That don't mean I don't think about you
I know we said it's just as well
That I won't keep you for myself
But I don't want to see you happier with somebody else
Why can't you just be lonely
Why can't you just be lonely
Why can't you just be lonely
I know you need someone too
This just feels so soon
I know some things should just stay broken
I'm well aware this should remain unspoken
But I've been working on the things that I was learning all wrong
I know sometimes I only twist you
And maybe I'm too proud to say I missed you
But what if here and now I tell you that I'm all figured out
Or maybe I just like how that sounds
I know we said it's just as well
That I won't keep you for myself
But I don't want to see you happier with somebody else
Can't you just be lonely
Why can't you just be lonely
Why can't you just be lonely
I know you need someone too
This just feels so
I know its seems beneath me
But sometimes it's not so easy
To wish you well and let you go
And I said it's just as well
That I just can't keep you for myself
I don't want to see you happier with somebody else
Lo-lo, lo-lo, lo-lonely
Why can't you just be lonely
Why can't you just be lonely
This just feels so
This just feels so
Feels so soon
Why cant you be
Why cant you be
This just feels so
This just feels so
This just feels so soon
