[Verse 1] Everybody talking ’bout love But they rush like the world gon’ end Swipe left, swipe right, same story Different name, same hurt again Seen smiles that were lying inside Sweet words turning bitter by night I’d rather walk this road on my own Than sleep next to a stranger in my life [Chorus] Better single than unhappy Better lonely than betrayed I’m not begging for attention I want someone who will stay Give me respect, give me loyalty Show me patience when I’m wrong If you can’t love me like you say you do I’m better single than with you (hey) [Verse 2] I don’t need a ring for the show If your heart’s still out at the club If we fight, can we talk, can we grow Or you vanish when it gets tough I want truth when it’s hard to be kind I want hands that don’t ever let go If that’s too much for you to give Then I’m choosing my peace, letting you go [Chorus] Better single than unhappy Better lonely than betrayed I’m not begging for attention I want someone who will stay Give me respect, give me loyalty Show me patience when I’m wrong If you can’t love me like you say you do I’m better single than with you [Bridge] One day I’ll meet you halfway Heart open, but guarded by faith ’Til then I’ll be good on my own ’Cause being loved wrong cuts to the bone (oh) [Chorus] Better single than unhappy Better lonely than betrayed I’m not begging for attention I want someone who will stay Give me respect, give me loyalty Show me patience when I’m wrong ’Til we can love like that, I’ll wait in truth I’m better single than untrue
