I'd rather be with someone who doesn't love me
Then with someone who does
I'd rather have a broken heart
Then for it to fall in love
I'd rather have a moment
Where I can see my fate
I'd rather be alone
Then in the arms of what could change
I'd rather wonder why
Then really know the truth
I'd rather walk away
Then run towards you
I'd rather laugh away my pain
Then wipe away my tears
I'd rather rip out your heart
Then let it grow with me my dear
I'd rather tell you no
Then to ever tell you yes
I'd rather watch you die
Then to know your happiness is best
I'd rather see the moment
Where you're lying there dead
But you'd rather see it backwards
So from you,
Here is how it's read
You'd rather be with someone who doesn't love you
Then with someone who does
You'd rather have a broken heart
Then for it to fall in love
You'd rather have a moment of wishing
Then to ever see your fate
You'd rather be alone
Then in the arms of what could change
You'd rather wonder why
Then really know the truth
You'd rather walk away
Then into the arms of who loves you
You'd rather laugh away your pain
Then wipe away your tears
You'd rather have your heart ripped out
Then let it grow with someone else my dear
You'd rather hear me say no
Then to ever hear me say yes
You'd rather watch yourself die
Then to know your happiness could be better than best
You'd rather not see the moment
Where I'm lying here dead
But now we're both in the casket
Of the place where we shall stay
Cause we'd rather have it backwards,
Then to pretend it was all a game.
