Rather Be Lonely

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

I do this every time
'Cause of what I've learned all my life

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

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

I do this every time
'Cause of what I've learned all my life

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)

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