Rather Be
Choosing Love Over Self
Lyrics
Blame me
Expressing willingness to take responsibility
Blame me now
Reiterating a call to be blamed
I'm the one whose fault it is, but know I'm proud
Acknowledging fault with pride
Would you rather me?
Presenting a choice or preference
Hold on then to what we have
Desire to hold onto the current relationship
To let it slip under my hands
Fear of losing control or grasp on the relationship
And stop it all from crumblin' down
Desire to prevent the relationship from falling apart
Rather be the one to make you cry
Expressing a willingness to be the cause of emotional pain
Save the tears, baby, listen why
Encouraging the partner to listen and understand
So then take my hand and then hold me tight
Inviting physical closeness and reassurance
Would you rather be
Presenting a choice or preference
Anybody else's?
Questioning loyalty and exclusivity
I wouldn't want to make you cry
Expressing a desire not to cause emotional pain
Save the tears, baby, listen why
Encouraging the partner to listen and understand
So then take my hand and hold you tight
Seeking physical closeness and reassurance
Wouldn't rather be
Expressing a preference for current relationship status
Anybody else's man
Affirming commitment to being with the partner
Roll me deep
Describing emotional vulnerability and depth
While I sing it loud
Expressing emotions openly and loudly
Baby, come to me while we tear the walls right down
Inviting the partner to be close during challenging times
Tell me, would you rather me
Presenting a choice or preference
Hold on then to what we have
Desire to hold onto the current relationship
To let it slip under my hands
Fear of losing control or grasp on the relationship
And stop it all from crumblin' down?
Desire to prevent the relationship from falling apart
Rather be the one to make you cry
Expressing a willingness to be the cause of emotional pain
Save the tears, baby, listen why
Encouraging the partner to listen and understand
So then take my hand and then hold me tight
Inviting physical closeness and reassurance
Would you rather be
Presenting a choice or preference
Anybody else's?
Questioning loyalty and exclusivity
I wouldn't want to make you cry
Expressing a desire not to cause emotional pain
Save the tears, baby, listen why
Encouraging the partner to listen and understand
So then take my hand and hold you tight
Seeking physical closeness and reassurance
Wouldn't rather be
Expressing a preference for current relationship status
Anybody else's man
Affirming commitment to being with the partner
