[Verse 1]

Where the truth is best left for dead, I'm in no mood

But you say you needed space, 'kay so why's your table set for two?

Now tell me the truth

Oh, and let's get something straight, I travel miles for your sake

I trade in self-esteem and energy to elevate your stay

So when you spoke of independence did you really mean to say

You need another man to hold your hand and take the edge away?

[Chorus]

I'm breathing in slowly

I'm not better 'cause I'm wearing you out

You may never be lonely

But you seldom find the answers that you seek in someone else's arms

Someone else's arms

[Verse 2]

Well we close the doors so civilly so why you gotta riddle me like that?

Yeah I spoke of you so kindly but now maybe I'll just take it all back

How 'bout that?

Yeah, I hope he makes you smile and I hope he gives you friends

I bet it showers you in money all the ways I couldn't pay

But if you really wanna know, I think we're better off this way

'Cause now your man and you will hear me on that radio someday

[Chorus]

I'm breathing in slowly

I'm not better 'cause I'm wearing you out

You may never be lonely

But you seldom find the answers that you seek in someone else's arms

[Bridge]

All this time running circles around these lies

All for the sake of another good night

Could be better but I never get past it, crawling on back to you

Crawling back to you

Yeah, the truth is best left for dead, I'm in no mood

[Chorus]

I'm breathing in slowly

I'm not better 'cause I'm wearing you out

You may never be lonely

But you seldom find the answers that you seek in someone else's arms

(Lonely)

Someone else's arms, oh

(Lonely)

Yeah, I never get past it

Crawling on back to you
