Rather Be Alone

Woke up late, same mistakes, I’m still trippin’ on my shoelace
You rolled your eyes again, yeah, I can feel the growing distance
Every word’s a landmine, every look’s a warning sign
I’m tired of trying not to break
Just need a little space

I know it’s messed up, but baby, here’s the truth:
I think I’m happier without you—

’Cause I’d rather be alone
Than stuck inside your undertow
You keep pulling, I keep sinking
But I’m finally done pretending
Yeah, I’d rather be alone
Than fight for something overgrown
If letting go’s the only option
Guess this heartbreak’s worth the cost then
Yeah, I’d rather be alone

Same routine, worn-out scenes, you’re always somewhere in-between
Talking like you’re half-here, half-gone, drifting with the breeze
I tried to meet you halfway, but you keep moving further away
I’m sick of guessing where you stand
So I’m taking back my plans

And if you never cared, well hey, that’s fine—
I’ve got better ways to spend my time

’Cause I’d rather be alone
Than stuck inside your undertow
You keep pulling, I keep sinking
But I’m finally done pretending
Yeah, I’d rather be alone
Than fight for something I’ve out grown
If letting go’s the only option
Guess this heartbreak’s worth the cost then
Yeah, I’d rather be alone

Maybe someday we’ll laugh at all the wasted time
But right now I’m busy drawing boundaries in my mind
I’m done with storm clouds hanging over every night
I’m choosing me this time—yeah, I’ll be alright

Alone! Alone!
Feels better than the chaos you brought home
Alone! Alone!
I finally found a place where I can grow

’Cause I’d rather be alone
Than stuck inside your undertow
You keep pulling, I keep sinking
But I’m finally done pretending
Yeah, I’d rather be alone
Than hold onto a heart of stone
If letting go means starting over
I’ll walk out and call it closure
Yeah, I’d rather be alone
