You said it was a deep cut
And that it might take a while
To let me back in and trust
That I will stay by your side

And I know that I could get hurt
And you know that you could get burned
So we stay alone
But if you told me if could be us
I'd say yes
I'd say it again and again

Hold me tight, don't let me go
'Cause if it can't be us
I'd rather be alone
Let me in and don't say no
If it's too late for us
I'd rather be alone
I will wait
'Cause if it can't be us
If it's too late for us
I'd rather be alone

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
And that is who I will aspire to be
I know it can't be easy
For you to beliеve
And trust won't just come automatically

Now I see wherе I can improve
'Cause I know I blamed it on you
Give me another go
'Cause if you told me it could be us
I'd say yes
I'd say it again and again

Hold me tight, don't let me go
'Cause if it can't be us
I'd rather be alone
Let me in and don't say no
If it's too late for us
I'd rather be alone
I will wait
'Cause if it can't be us
If it's too late for us
I'd rather be alone

Certain things we just can't erase
I'm lying in the bed that we made
If you were here with me, babe
I'd say it again and again

Hold me tight, don't let me go
'Cause if it can't be us
I'd rather be alone
Let me in and don't say no
If it's too late for us
I'd rather be alone
Rather be alone
If it's too late for us
(Rather)
If it's too late for us
I'd rather be alone
