Rather Be Alone Lyrics
[Intro]
You say I worry too much
I over-think things just a touch
Well I think, well I think
[Verse]
You can analyze me
Tell me what you think I need
To be more socially acceptable
Well I don’t see the appeal
So this is who I am and I reject your standards
I never cared to fit in with your vapid friends
I’d rather be alone than subject myself to your so-called “fun”
You need it to have a good time
But I won’t trick my mind, live a lie
I won’t try to pretend
No one I need to impress
You just want to escape and always feel ok
But that’s a fantasy, whoever told you that life was easy?
I still feel pain but I’ve seen what people do to get a fix to make it go away
And all the extra struggles that it creates
No, no, no fucking thanks!
[Outro]
I’d rather be by myself
I value genuine bonds but this substitute drug-culture offers can’t satisfy
It’s more alienating to be around than it is to be by myself
You say I worry too much
I over-think things just a touch
Well I think, well I think
[Verse]
You can analyze me
Tell me what you think I need
To be more socially acceptable
Well I don’t see the appeal
So this is who I am and I reject your standards
I never cared to fit in with your vapid friends
I’d rather be alone than subject myself to your so-called “fun”
You need it to have a good time
But I won’t trick my mind, live a lie
I won’t try to pretend
No one I need to impress
You just want to escape and always feel ok
But that’s a fantasy, whoever told you that life was easy?
I still feel pain but I’ve seen what people do to get a fix to make it go away
And all the extra struggles that it creates
No, no, no fucking thanks!
[Outro]
I’d rather be by myself
I value genuine bonds but this substitute drug-culture offers can’t satisfy
It’s more alienating to be around than it is to be by myself
