Nicholas Rodriguez (Moscow, ID)

Here's mine! Fun Challenge, it's been forever since I finished a song lol. Could probably use some more work though.

I used a Rubbermaid container for the drums lol.

lyrics

Cowardice and Loneliness led me to you
Broken heart's still shattered, now I'll settle down too
But if I lift you up, Then I'm gonna let you down
Cause that's a thirst half quenched and there's water all around
I'd be dreaming of the stars while hiding underground
It's a lie for me, what would it do to you

I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone

So I'll go for broke, you're the only one I see
I'll give you the world if you give your love to me
I could to anything for you, no matter what the cost
Can I trust someone who can be bought
are you for the highest bidder, does it ever stop
Try to earn your love, become your slave forever

I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone

You're looking for someone, with a mask I'll make it me
Everyone you've ever wanted, that's who I'm gonna be
I'll change myself for you, and never look back
But then the rest of my life is just one big act
And after a while you'll see through that
I could trade myself for you, but I'll never get it back

I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be alone

So alone I'll stay wear myself on my sleeve
Let go of this fear, these mascarades and misery
I know that you're out there, I know you're not too far
Life's to be lived not stuck in this town
struggling for something that's bound to come around
So I'll have faith in you, and live my life for me

Until I'm not alone
Until I'm not alone
