It's Better than (Being Alone)

It's better than being alone being with someone you hardly know
I think that's true for the both of us
Neither one of us wants to hoard the kingsized bed
So instead we cast ourselves in an unfinished play and we watch for someone else to write the end
And if we see another character that seems to like us too
There's no commitment after all it's just you
That's the problem that's the truth but after all it's just you

I couldn't tell you what it is
If it's the heavy breathing or the drops of sweat too
It might be the person but I think it's the body
Right in front of mine

Somehow
We still found a spare to fit in the place of each other
And somehow I looked around
I saw every person was a pair
I just stood there with an empty stare
I had never realized this was a nightmare

It's better than being alone
Spending the night with someone you really know
But I always find at morning's rise
A question of 'friend or lover'?
I always settle for both It's the best of two worlds
And all my friends agree
Or should I say my romantic monopoly?

The next day I found myself
Looking through the sheets at a silhouette
It was so soft so real so perfect but somehow it was mine
And we looked across one shared thought
We had found the way back to the love we forgot
It was then that I knew nobody could replace you and I know you felt it too

Somehow
We still found a spare to fit in the place of each other
And somehow I looked around
I saw every person was a pair
I just stood there with an empty stare
I had never realized this was a nightmare

I remember when I first felt this way
The smallest scratches and shallowest breaths they
Were tantalizing mesmerizing to their very core
But at the same time they left my body sore
Could it be better to be alone?

It's better than being alone being with someone you hardly know
