Lyrics Bethany Joy Lenz

Bethany Joy Lenz

The Loneliness Is Better Near Now

It's lonliest when you're here

It's quietly when you're right beside me

I don't say it to hurt you

I just miss the touch of his hand

The lonliness is better near now

Than to satisfy the crave

The lonliness is better near now

Than to satisfy the crave, and start all over

But I like fingertips on my face

The glances I can retrace in my mind

The holding onto me so I feel it and fall into it

Chase the memories away

I know I'm not the same, but I'm wishful

And I'm strained and strange

And though I won't complain

I know I stray, I know I stay

An ocean away

A woman at bay

She shoots up a flare and beackons him near

And the closer you get

The safer I am

But the further I run to hide me in the dark and

The lonliness is better near now

Than to satisfy the crave

Yes, The lonliness is better near now

Than to satisfy the crave, and start all over

But I like fingertips on my face

The glances I can retrace in my mind

The holding onto me so I feel it and fall into it

Chase the memories away

I know I'm not the same
