I'd rather be lonely than hold on to a lie
I'd rather not pick up the phone, when you call me late at night
I'd rather sit here in silence
Just my thoughts and me
Than feel like I'm alone, when you're right next to me
Oh, I'd rather be lonely, than be with someone
Who's there in the dark, but gone with the sun
I'd rather be all alone, sitting in bed alone
Pull out my bible, and sing some old time songs
And never wonder why, you didn't pick up that phone
Got some missed calls on my screen, from places I called home
But now those walls, feel better when I'm on my own
Cause it feels so good, to have my heart to myself
I'm better off alone, than with somebody else
Oh, I'd rather be lonely, than be with someone
Who's there in the dark, but gone with the sun
I'd rather be all alone, sitting in bed alone
Pull out my bible, and sing some old time songs
And never wonder why, you didn't pick up that phone
Oh, I'd rather be six feet down, than feel buried alive
I'd rather be locked up, than lose my peace of mind
Cause what's the point of love, if it just tears you apart
I'm choosing to be free, I'm choosing my own heart
Oh, I'd rather be lonely, than be with someone
Who's there in the dark, but gone with the sun
I'd rather be all alone, sitting in bed alone
Pull out my bible, and sing some old time songs
And never wonder why, you didn't pick up that phone
Oh, I'd rather be lonely, than hold on to a lie
I'd rather not pick up the phone, when you call me late at night
Cause what's the point of love, if it just tears you apart
I'm choosing to be free, I'm choosing my own heart
