"I'd Rather Be Alone" lyrics
I'll always love you that way
Nothing's ever gonna change how I feel about ya
But honestly, nowadays, I believe straight up you
Could never give me what I want
Ain't that somethin'? Thought that we'd work it out
If I just stuck around, let you grow up
You got a thing for withholding your love
You give me a little, but never enough
Oh, what's the point? You don't really wanna fix it 'cause you're so avoidant
Now you're touching on my body and I do enjoy it
No one ever take me serious, and that's so annoying
But you're the only one in my heart, and that is making this so hard
Ooh
Guess this isn't gonna be my happy ending
Oh, I tried to bite my tongue, but I just couldn't help it
Oh, if pain's the price of love, then I just can't accept it
And I don't wanna say this, but I just gotta send it
'Cause I, I'd rather be alone, whoa-whoa
Than wait around for better with you
I, I'd rather be alone than spend my life holding on forever with you
I know all about you, but you're never there for me
So close to me, it seems, you're always out of reach
So I'd rather rip the Band-Aid off than scratch it 'til it bleeds, oh, whoa (Oh, whoa)
It gets to a point where believing you'll change is a foolish assumption
You left me no choice, and I don't wanna be hurt forever
I will put myself first I find out it's worse to look back and admit
I lied to myself when I always knew better, ooh
Potential's just potential, and love is not pleasure
Ooh
Guess this isn't gonna be my happy ending
Oh, I tried to bite my tongue, but I just couldn't help it
Oh, if pain's the price of love, then I just can't accept it
And I don't wanna say this, but I just gotta send it
'Cause oh I, I'd rather be alone, whoa-whoa
Than wait around for better with you
I, I'd rather be alone than spend my life holding on forever with you (Forever and ever)
I'd rather be alone
Ooh
I'd rather be alone than spend my life holding on
Nothing's ever gonna change how I feel about ya
But honestly, nowadays, I believe straight up you
Could never give me what I want
Ain't that somethin'? Thought that we'd work it out
If I just stuck around, let you grow up
You got a thing for withholding your love
You give me a little, but never enough
Oh, what's the point? You don't really wanna fix it 'cause you're so avoidant
Now you're touching on my body and I do enjoy it
No one ever take me serious, and that's so annoying
But you're the only one in my heart, and that is making this so hard
Ooh
Guess this isn't gonna be my happy ending
Oh, I tried to bite my tongue, but I just couldn't help it
Oh, if pain's the price of love, then I just can't accept it
And I don't wanna say this, but I just gotta send it
'Cause I, I'd rather be alone, whoa-whoa
Than wait around for better with you
I, I'd rather be alone than spend my life holding on forever with you
I know all about you, but you're never there for me
So close to me, it seems, you're always out of reach
So I'd rather rip the Band-Aid off than scratch it 'til it bleeds, oh, whoa (Oh, whoa)

I'd rather be alone
Ooh
I'd rather be alone than spend my life holding on
