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 creeping 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're brightening up my nights But the light you shine is from the place I left behind Place I left behind Place I left behind I would rather be alone Than just sink down like a stone I would rather be alone But I can't do without you The heat is melting through my soul I'm a wildfire out of control And soon you'll find me Buried under ash and coal You're competing with the stars You're brightening up my nights But the light you shine is from the 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 the stories you've told Hoping for more, but I don't know for sure Leaving behind the stories you've told Hoping for more, but I don't know for sure Cause I said I'd rather be alone Than just sink down like a stone
