I'd Rather Be Alone Lyrics

Well I’ll be fine
Just laying here tonight
Thinking about the world
If you don’t mind
Then let me be
So I can feel alive again

For I've been hiding, I’ve been searching for a reason to escape
But I am trying, no I'm lying to myself cause I'm a fake
There's no other way to go
Oh I'd rather be alone
Cause I've been trying, but I'm dying now
So please give me some hope

Tell me what you meant when you said you miss me
Tell me how you felt when you dared to kiss me
Oh Oh Oh, I'd rather be alone

Well dear I mind
Now that you say you're trying
It's only getting worse
So leave my side
I don't need your lies
To write another verse

For I’ve been hiding, I’ve been searching for a reason I should stay
But I am trying, no I'm lying to another the same way
There's no other way to go
Oh I'd rather be alone
Cause I've been trying, but I'm dying now
I'm giving up on hope

With no one right here by my side
I'll live a cold and lonely life
I'd rather be this way then give my love to just anyone

Well I’ll be fine 
Just laying here tonight 
Thinking about the world 
If you don’t mind 
Then let me be
So I can feel alive again

For I've been hiding, I’ve been searching for a reason to escape 
But I am trying, no I'm lying to myself cause I'm a fake 
There's no other way to go 
Oh I'd rather be alone 
Cause I've been trying, but I'm dying now 
So please give me some hope

Tell me what you meant when you said you miss me 
Tell me how you felt when you dared to kiss me 
Oh Oh Oh, I'd rather be alone

Well dear I mind
Now that you say you're trying 
It's only getting worse 
So leave my side
I don't need your lies 
To write another verse

For I’ve been hiding, I’ve been searching for a reason I should stay 
But I am trying, no I'm lying to another the same way 
There's no other way to go 
Oh I'd rather be alone 
Cause I've been trying, but I'm dying now
I'm giving up on hope

With no one right here by my side
I'll live a cold and lonely life
I'd rather be this way then give my love to just anyone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I thought he was talking about a clingy whore. At first the "let me be so i can feel alive again" shows the clingy the second verse shows his want to escape and he wants her to give him some hope but then the chorus sounds like she pushed herself upon him and says she misses him, then the next verse he talks about her lying which could be a range of things but cheating was what i thought of and then he tries to talk himself into making it work but ends up giving up on hope. Final line insinuates that she was just some random girl aka "anyone" imo. probably not close but meh!
