IT'S BETTER TO BE ALONE

By Sarah Hawker

They say every meeting ends in parting

And that endings are enfolded in every starting

Until someone thinks it's worth that just to hold me in their arms

It's better to be alone than to be lonely

It's better to just close the door

Than to always be left needing more

It's better to feel the tears

than feel you gone when you're here

It's better to be alone than to be lonely

Desire is so bitter-sweet

My heart between your teeth

Leaving now is better than leaving slowly day by day

It's better to be alone than to be lonely

It's better to just close the door

Than to always be left needing more

It's better to feel the tears

than feel you gone when you're here

It's better to be alone than to be lonely
