I’d Rather Be Alone

[Verse 1]

This morning in the shower, I was hit with the revelation

We've been fighting non-stop, and we can't keep a conversation

You never see my family, and you don't say I'm pretty anymore

The only time we see each other, our mouths are stuck together

Like rubber and glue, we stick and bounce right off each other

I don't think that means we love one another

Things have been off


[Chorus]

Throw a wineglass at my head as I walk through the door

Turn a tiny little problem into so much more

We spend hours and hours cryin' over the phone

Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?

Months and months of sittin' 'round, 'cause we got nowhere to be

Oh, you're such a waste of my time and energy

Been so high that we couldn't see all the lows

Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?


[Verse 2]

We toss and turn and synchronize our moody swinging

You run in circles, waiting for nobody

I take a risk and tell you that I'm unhappy, it backfires

You make me break down and then I crawl back to ya

And we rehearse our "Sorry"s with dramatic crying

And then the cycle starts

Over again and again and again and again


[Chorus]

Throw a wineglass at my head as I walk through the door

Turn a tiny little problem into so much more

We spend hours and hours cryin' over the phone

Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?

Months and months of sittin' 'round, 'cause we got nowhere to be

Oh, you're such a waste of my time and energy

Been so high that we couldn't see all the lows

Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?


[Bridge]

Down again we go

Wastin' time 'cause we don't know

And we're too scared to be alone

But I'm done

Hold on to the highs

Oh, I know you don't like goodbyes

But this has to happen

'Cause we'd honestly be better off alone


[Chorus]

Throw a wineglass at my head as I walk through the door

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)

Turn a tiny little problem into so much more

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)

Months and months of sittin' 'round, 'cause we got nowhere to be

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)

Oh, you're such a waste of my time and energy

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)


[Post-Chorus]

You hate my guts and you hate my friends

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)

I think the only solution is tying up loose ends

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)

I don't even know how we lasted this long

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)

I doubt you'll even bother listening to this song

(Is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?)


[Outro]

Is it bad to say, is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?

Is it bad to say, is it bad to say I'd rather be alone?
