Story Behind The Song
I was in a relationship that I realized was not going any further than it had. I've always been a dreamer and like most of us I guess, ignore all the signs until I can't stand it anymore. One night while alone in the house I thought why should I wait, worry, wonder... I'd rather just be alone than be lonely here anticipating. I then realized how unhappy and "stalled" I had become and that is was time to start all over into a new life phase.... ah, once again!
Song Description
Sometimes relationship grow stale and at some point it's just time to move on even if it's so hard. The conviction of that ultimate decision is all powerful.

Lyrics
I?m tired of being angry, I?m tired of being bored
I?m tired of being silent won?t be quiet anymore
I?m tired of all this crying, I?m tired of being blue
I?d rather be alone than be lonely here with you
(Chorus:) Oh, you just don?t see what?s been ailing me
And baby you just don?t care that we?re going nowhere
Now I have to admit I can?t stand this a bit
I?m leaving, I?m starting all over again
I?m tired of staying up late, I?m tired of staying home
I?m tired of being angry while I?m waiting by the phone
I?m tired of planning romance, hoping you?ll come through
I?d rather be alone than be lonely here with you
Oh, you just don?t see what?s been bothering me
And baby you just don?t care
That we?re going nowhere
Now I have to admit, I can?t stand this a bit
I?m leaving, I?m starting all over again
(Bridge:) Oh, then you shake me, you break me
Oh, you?re trying to make me fall in love again
Then you deceive me, you leave me
Oh, and then you grieve me
This time I just won?t pretend
(Repeat bridge 1st verse & 1st chorus)
(Tags 2x) I?m leaving
I?m starting all over again
Oh baby, I'm leaving
I'm gonna pack my bags
Oh, I'm gonna move on down the road
