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
