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 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 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 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 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
