Another day has gone by
How can you be on my side?
I don't think I'll survive
Walk me out while there's time
The clock is ticking bye-bye
You should've known in the first fight

No one can stand to stay this long
(No one can stand)
Oh, you were meant to be alone
(Meant to be alone)
Forget the kids, the one, the car
(Kids, the one, the car)
You're only good to play guitar
(Only good to play guitar)
Go make a name out on the streets
Yeah, get that plane, it's best to leave
Your friends may hate what you've become
But we were born to die alone

Born to scream this song with the people I belong
Born to feed my soul every dream I've ever known

My phone is ringing full-time
Even though I'm out of town
You tell me life is right now
And I'd still be checking out

No one can stand to stay this long
(No one can stand)
Oh, you were meant to be alone
(Meant to be alone)
Forget the kids, the one, the car
(Kids, the one, the car)
You're only good to play guitar
(Only good to play guitar)
Go make a name out on the streets
(Make a name)
Yeah, get that plane, it's best to leave
(Right now)
Your friends may hate what you've become
(Let them hate)
But we were born to die alone

Born to scream this song with the people I belong
Born to feed my soul every dream I've ever known

Can't be the wife you settle for
Can't be the girl you meet next door
Can't be the mom they all adore
I'm only built to be at war

No one can stand to stay this long
(No one can stand)
Oh, you were meant to be alone
(Meant to be alone)
Forget the kids, the one, the car
(Kids, the one, the car)
You're only good to play guitar
(Only good to play guitar)
Go make a name out on the streets
(Make a name)
Yeah, get that plane, it's best to leave
(Right now)
Your friends may hate what you've become
(Let them hate)
But we were born to die alone

Born to scream this song with the people I belong
Born to feed my soul every dream I've ever known

Cause we were born to die alone
We were born to die alone
We were born to die alone
Oh, I was born to die alone
