Rather Be

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
