I'd Rather (Radio Version)

I thought some time alone

Was what we really needed

You said this time would hurt more than it helps

But I couldn't see that

I thought it was the end

Of a beautiful story

And so I left the one I loved at home

To be alone, ooh-oh

And I tried and found out if this one thing is true

That I'm nothing without you

I know better now

And I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you

Than good times with someone else

I'd rather be beside you in a storm

Than safe and warm by myself

I'd rather have hard times together

Than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah

And then I met someone

And thought she could replace you

We got along just fine

But wasted time because she was not you

We had a lot of fun

Though we knew we were faking

Love was not impressed with our connection

Built on lies, on lies

So I'm here 'cause I found this one thing is true

That I'm nothing without you

I know better now

And I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you

Than good times with someone else

I'd rather be beside you in a storm

Than safe and warm by myself

I'd rather have hard times together

Than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

Who holds my heart

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you

I can only prove the things I say with time

Please be mine

I'd rather have bad times with you (please be mine)

Than good times with someone else (I know better now)

I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime)

Than safe and warm by myself (shoulda, shoulda, baby)

I'd rather have hard times together

Than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)
