I'd Rather - January

I’d rather

I hear an angel whisper ‘Keep your head, shallow as your life can be'

And all the while you dripped honey in my ear

You kept me fair, kept me near

I’d rather be with you

But I’d rather be alone in this cold and empty home than to watch you leave

Again and again and again cause my heart would turn to stone

So I raise my hands and I wrap my head and I’ll take the pain instead

I’d rather be alone

I’ve tried but no one ever took your place — they’ll never take your place

I want you to chaise, I’m holding your place, I know that I’ll pay

But I’d still rather be with you

But I’d rather be alone in this cold and empty home than to watch you leave

Again and again and again cause my heart would turn to stone

So I raise my hands and I wrap my head and I’ll take the pain I’ll take the

pain I’ll take the pain instead

But I’d rather be alone in this cold and empty home than to watch you leave

Again and again and again cause my heart would turn to stone

So I raise my hands and I wrap my head and I’ll take the pain I’ll take the

pain I’ll take the pain instead

There’s none of day without my love

I’d rather

I’d rather

That I don’t miss you

I miss your hands, I miss your taste

I miss your hands, I miss my man

I’d rather be with you

But I’d rather be alone,

But I’d rather be alone

But I’d rather be alone in this cold and empty home than to watch you leave

Again and again cause my heart would turn to stone

So I raise my hands and I wrap my head and I’ll take the pain I’ll take the

pain I’ll take the pain instead

I’d rather

There is none of day without my love

I’d rather

I miss your hands, I miss your taste

I miss your hands, I miss my man

I miss your hands, I miss your taste

I miss your hands, I miss my man

I’d rather be with you
