Rather Be Alone
Embracing Solitude: Jacob Evans' 'Rather Be Alone' Unveils the Liberation of Independence
Lyrics
I wanna love you more
I desire to love you more
But if do, there'll be none left for me
If I do love more, there won't be any love left for myself
And I know you love me to
I am aware that you love me too
But you don't seem to know what to do
Despite your love, you seem unsure about how to handle the relationship
Yeah But it's not your job to save me
It is not your responsibility to rescue me
And it's not your job to make me whole again
Your role doesn't involve making me complete or whole again
It's not your job to complete me girl
Completing me is not your duty as a partner
And it's not your job
Reiterating that fulfilling these roles is not your responsibility
You should know
Emphasizing that the other person should understand
That I'd rather be alone
Expressing a preference for solitude over being with the other person
Than to be with you
Stating a strong preference to be alone rather than with the partner
I'd rather be on my own
Choosing independence over waiting for the partner
Then to has to spend my time waiting for you
Disliking the idea of spending time waiting for the partner
Because you never understand
Not feeling understood by the partner
So I'm alone no matter what I do
Being alone despite efforts, as understanding is lacking
Yeah But it's not your job to save me
Reiterating that the partner is not responsible for saving
And it's not your job to make me whole again
Highlighting that making the speaker whole is not the partner's duty
It's not your job to complete me girl
Emphasizing again that completion is not the partner's role
And it's not your job
Reiterating that these roles are not the partner's responsibility
You should know
Stressing the importance of the partner understanding these boundaries
That I'd rather be alone
Reiterating a strong preference for solitude over being with the partner
Than to be with you
Expressing a firm choice to be alone rather than with the partner
I'd rather be on my own
Choosing independence over being in a relationship
