Tinashe I’d Rather Be Alone Lyrics:
I'll always love you that way
Nothing's ever gonna change how I feel about you
But honestly nowadays I believe straight up
You could never give me what I want

Ain't that something?
Thought that we would get out if I just stuck around, let you grow up
But you gotta thing for withholding your love
You give me a little but never enough

Oh, what's the point?
You don't really wanna fix it 'cause you're so avoidant
Now you're touching on my body and I do enjoy it
Don't ever take me seriously, and that's what annoying
But you're the only one in my heart
And that is making this so hard

Guess this isn't gonna be my happy ending
Oh, I tried to bite my tongue, but I just couldn't help it
Only fees are priced in love, and I just can't accept it
And I don't wanna say this, but I just gotta send it
'Cause oh, I, I'd rather be alone, whoa
Than wait around for better with you, oh, I
I'd rather be alone
Than spend my life holding on forever with you

I know all about you, but you're never there for me
So close to me, it seems you're always out of reach
So I'd rather rip the band-aid off than scratch it 'til it bleeds
Oh, it gets to a point where believing
You'll change is a foolish assumption
You left me no choice, and I don't wanna be hurt forever
I'ma put myself first, I find that it's worse to look
Back and admit I lied to myself when I always knew better
Potential's just potential, and love is not a pleasure

(Oh), guess this isn't gonna be my happy ending
Oh, I tried to bite my tongue, but I just couldn't help it
Only fees are priced in love, and I just can't accept it
And I don't wanna say this, but I just gotta send it
'Cause oh, I, I'd rather be alone, whoa
Than wait around for better with you, oh, I
I'd rather be alone
Than spend my life holding on forever with you

For and ever
I'd rather be alone, whoa
Oh, I, I'd rather be alone
Than spend my life holding on
