Rather Be Lonely Than Break

A lonely girl will dream of love

But a broken one will hate its fate

A dependant ache inside your chest

A violent desperate change

There may be a million ways you want to love me

But not a million ways you could

Time will open your eyes to reality

And with each passing moment you’ll see

I’m not the girl you believe

There’s a beautiful idea inside your head

But I’m not made to fit that shape

I can bend and move but not change my frame

So if I try I know I will break

I’m not pretty and painted, no delicate grace

No natural beauty or porcelain face

Just clumsy and dented, a bit

Torn and rough around the edges

There may be a million ways you want to love me

But not a million ways you could

Time will open your eyes to reality

And with each passing moment you’ll see

I’m not the girl you believe

There’s a beautiful idea in your head

But I’m not made to fit that shape

I can bend and move but not change my frame

And trying will force me to break

I’m clumsy and dented, a bit rough

Around the edges, not smooth enough

To fit your shape, I could bend

I could move, but I would rather

Be lonely then face a violent, desperate fate

I'd rather be lonely than break,

I'd rather be lonely than break

....

I replayed the pain in your voice when I turned away

I didn’t want you to see the tears running down my face

You were so kind and so strong

I wish I could understand why it all went wrong

I let you walk away, holding back

What my heart was crying to say

Its killing me to let you go, but I have

To do what’s best for you, even though I know

You’re whats good for me, You’re

Everything I could ask you to be

But my heart was breaking and

I had to make a choice, had to make you leave

But I miss you, and I’m sorry

You’d never walk away on your own

So I had to be the one to end this tonight

To push you away and make a clean break

Cause I know you would always care and always fight

I let you walk away, holding back

What my heart was crying to say

Its killing me to let you go, but I have

To do what’s best for you, even though I know

You’re whats good for me, You’re

Everything I could ask you to be

Now my heart’s still breaking but

I had to make a choice that was best for you and me

I had to push you away, had to make you leave

But I miss you, and I’m so so sorry
