[1] You used to hold me
each time I cried
But lately you don't know me
you're so wrapped up inside
You used to tell me
the secrets of your heart
And though we live together
we still live apart
[CHO:] I'D RATHER BE ALONE
THAN BE LONELY WITH YOU
I'D RATHER YOU BE LONG GONE
THAN BE HERE MAKING ME BLUE
YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
.
BUT I'VE GOT TO FACE THE TRUTH
I'D RATHER BE ALONE
THAN BE LONELY WITH YOU

[2] You used to hug me
all through the night
Lately you don't touch me
you just turn off the light
You used to listen
when something was on my mind
We spent hours together
but now you don't have the time
[CHO:] I'D RATHER BE ALONE
THAN BE LONELY WITH YOU
I'D RATHER YOU BE LONG GONE
THAN BE HERE MAKING ME BLUE
YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
.
BUT I'VE GOT TO FACE THE TRUTH
I'D RATHER BE ALONE
THAN BE LONELY WITH YOU
[BRIDGE:] You were my every dream
.
But now you won't come true
You were my every thing
Now you've left me with nothing
What else can I do?

[CHO:] I'D RATHER BE ALONE

I'D RATHER YOU BE LONG GONE
THAN BE HERE MAKING ME BLUE
YOU KNOW I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

BUT I'VE GOT TO FACE THE TRUTH
I'D RATHER BE ALONE
THAN BE LONELY WITH YOU
[TAG:] I'd rather be alone
than be lonely with you
