I'm better off lonely, I've had it don't pick up the phone -
You don't understand me, I can't watch the drama unfold -
Tell me how to handle the slip in the knot of the rope -
Another black Sunday, another black Sunday -
You break me down and think it's all right -
You push me out and troubles on the way -
It brings me down I'm better off lonely, I'm better off lonely -
I'm not your slave -
Maybe there's someway, to get you inside of my scope -
Be on the same page, and not at each other's throats -
And if you get lonely and miss what you wanted the most -
Clean up the bloodstains, clean up the bloodstains -
You break me down and think it's all right -
You push me out and troubles on the way -
It brings me down I'm better off lonely, I'm better off lonely -
I'm not your slave, I'm not your slave -
Pills you swallow wait till tomorrow -
Radio caller tell me your problems -
Face in the mattress scream out the madness -
Keeps getting harder please don't follow me -
I'm not your slave -
You break me down and think it's all right -
You push me out and troubles on the way -
It brings me down I'm better off lonely, I'm better off lonely -
I'm not your slave -
You break me down and think it's all right -
You push me out -
I'm not your slave -
It brings me down I'm better off lonely, better off lonely -
I'm not your slave -
I'm not your slave
You don't understand me, I can't watch the drama unfold -
Tell me how to handle the slip in the knot of the rope -
Another black Sunday, another black Sunday -

It brings me down I'm better off lonely, I'm better off lonely -
I'm not your slave -
