They say avoidance never heals but this sure feels good Gonna stay here a couple more minutes than I should Gonna take a couple shots and numb my feelings Instead of dealing with my problems I just stare at the ceiling Avoidance never heals but this sure feels good I know I said I'd stop before I drown But I don't like the thought of coming down 'Cause I'm a loner and I like it that way I like a dark room with nobody but pain And I don't need permission to feel sad I don't need a witness to have my back 'Cause I'm a loner and I like it that way And I like it that way I'm always by myself 'cause that's what feels right And when I'm in a crowded room I try to stay out of sight Always show up to the party hours early 'Cause I'm bored of everything by 7:30 I'm always by myself 'cause that's what feels right I know I said I'd stop before I drown Just took a couple pills now I'm on the ground 'Cause I'm a loner and I like it that way I like a dark room with nobody but pain And I don't need permission to feel sad I don't need a witness to have my back 'Cause I'm a loner and I like it that way And I like it that way (yeah I'm a loner, yeah) 'Cause I'm a loner and I like it that way I like a dark room with nobody but pain And I don't need permission to feel sad I don't need a witness to have my back 'Cause I'm a loner and I like it that way And I like it that way
