[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
