Rather Be Lonely lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stopped saying, "Good morning"
I stopped sleeping every night in your bed
You still make me breakfast, I start to resent it
I think we'd be better off as friends

[Pre-Chorus]
I do this every time
'Cause of what I've learned all my life

[Chorus]
That we need to talk meant you need to listen
Those three little words always came with conditions
It's not that I don't want you to hold me
But they told me that it doesn't matter if I have an opinion
So now I'm avoidant and scared of commitment
'Cause if someone's love means they control me
I'd rather be lonely

[Verse 2]
You could make me feel important
Could be patient, secure and supportive
You could be all that I've wanted, but then the worst part is
That I know it has to end

[Pre-Chorus]
I do this every time
'Cause of what I've learned all my life
[Chorus]
That we need to talk meant you need to listen
Those three little words always came with conditions
It's not that I don't want you to hold me
But they told me that it doesn't matter if I have an opinion
So now I'm avoidant and scared of commitment
'Cause if someone's love means they control me
I'd rather be lonely (Lonely)
I'd rather be lonely (Yeah)

[Outro]
'Cause if someone's love means they control me
I'd rather be lonely
