Rather Be - dePresno

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
