Rather Be
[Verse 1]
I would rather be alone
Than not have you on my own
I would rather be alone
I can't do without you
The cold is creepin' down our street
Cause I know I will not be the only one you meet
With your blue cheeks

[Chorus]
You're competing with the stars
You brighten up my nights
But the light you shine is from a place I left behind
Place I left behind, place I left behind
Place I left behind

[Verse 2]
I would rather be alone
And just sink down like a stone
I would rather be alone
But I can't do without you
The heat is mounting through my soul
I'm a wildfire out of control
And soon you'll find me
I'm buried under ash and coal
[Chorus]
You're competing with the stars
You brighten up my nights
But the light you shine is from a place I left behind
Place I left behind, place I left behind
Place I left behind

[Outro]
See it unfold
Stories of love taking its toll
Leaving behind stories you've told
Hoping for more but I don't know for sure
Leave 'em behind, stories you've told
Hoping for more but I don't know for sure
Cause I rather be alone
