Better Alone Than Empty Together

Описание: This track is about choosing solitude over staying where you’re unseen, unheard, or slowly erased.
It’s not anti-love — it’s anti-self-abandonment.
Sometimes the hardest truth isn’t that you’re alone.
It’s realizing you felt lonelier while standing next to someone who couldn’t meet you where you were.
This song sits in the space between restraint and resolve — heavy without being desperate, emotional without begging for understanding. It’s about reclaiming your center, your boundaries, and your peace.
Written from lived experience.
Delivered without apology.
If this resonates, you’re not broken — you’re listening.

BETTER ALONE THAN EMPTY TOGETHER
Written by Kevin Millican

I’ve been quiet in crowded rooms
Smiling just to keep the peace
Learning how to disappear
While standing right beneath your eyes

I gave more than I ever asked
Still came home feeling alone
It’s strange how you can hold someone
And still feel like you’re on your own

I don’t fear the silence now
I fear losing myself
Trying to stay

I’d rather be alone
Than lonely with you
Rather sit with truth
Than beg for proof

I’d rather face the night
With nothing promised
Than sleep beside someone
Who makes me feel forgotten

I memorized your distance
Called it patience, called it love
Kept hoping effort would be enough
While my name went unanswered

I don’t want comfort without care
I don’t want presence without soul
I stopped mistaking being chosen
For being known

I don’t need a body near
If my heart’s still locked outside
That’s not connection
That’s survival

I’d rather be alone
Than lonely with you
Rather stand in silence
Than shrink in two

I’d rather walk away intact
Than stay half broken
I won’t beg for warmth
From a cold devotion

Loneliness alone is honest
Loneliness together is a lie

I won’t starve inside a relationship
Just to say I tried

I’d rather be alone
And breathe again
Than share a life
Where I can’t be myself

I didn’t fail at love
I chose myself
And that’s a strength
I won’t apologize for

I’m not afraid of being alone.
I’m afraid of disappearing
While someone watches.
