[Verse 1]
If you're dead, dark nights follow us round
Too late for me to understand the sound
And your voice cries out, haunts me now
Believe me when I say I'll make it right somehow
[Chorus]
You know I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be on my own
You know I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be on my own
[Verse 2]
Well I can't work out this puzzle I found
Discoverin' every piece buried deep underground
My maze, mistakes live with me now
Every night I close my eyes, I'm homeward bound
[Chorus]
You know I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be on my own
You know I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be on my own
[Outro] (4x)
And on that night
The night came 'round
I was homeward bound
