there's a price you will pay when you're on top of the world
oh
when everyone wants to be your friend or companion
there's a fine line between your own heaven and hell
oh
when everything goes your way
you still feel abandoned
sometimes
nothing's better than something
sometimes
you're better off lonely
why is it when times are good
everyone sticks around
but when things start to go the other way
they split and forget you
my own philosophy has been good to me
i try to stay to myself and don't get caught in the shit storm
sometimes
nothing's better than something
sometimes
you're better off lonely
and my airplane is taking off slowly
most of the time i really don't mind
it's pointless to waste all of my time thinking about this shit
i spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it
i still worry if you're ok
i still wonder if you're the same
remember when times were good and so simple-minded
and then somewhere along the way we lost all connections
when you strip away
all that's left is a guilty conscience
if i took a guess
i would bet you think this song is about you
don't you
don't you
don't you
sometimes
nothing's better than something
sometimes
you're better off lonely
my heart is stranded and frozen
and my airplane is taking off slowly
most of the time i really don't mind
it's pointless to waste all of my time
thinking about this shit
i spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it
i still worry if you're ok
i still wonder if you're the same
