MUSIC FOR SALE

[Verse 1]
Used to run on empty praise
Every “man up” in my face
Laugh tracks over every flaw
Guess my hurt was for applause

If I lead
I’m called a threat
If I bend
I lose respect
So I learned a quiet trick
Leave before the chains can click

[Chorus]
I’d rather be alone than invisible
I’d rather keep my heart than be your tool
You call it cold
I call it staying whole
I’m not avoiding love
I’m avoiding
Pain dressed up as something beautiful
I’d rather be alone than invisible

[Verse 2]
All the jokes hit the same
Useless
Lazy
I’m to blame
Built to break
Built to provide
Just don’t ask what’s dead inside

I stopped fighting
Stopped the chase
Closed the door
Reclaimed my name
You can’t steer what walks away
I’m not yours to throw away (no)

[Chorus]
I’d rather be alone than invisible
I’d rather keep my heart than be your fool
You call it weak
‘Cause I refuse to bleed
I’m not avoiding love
I’m avoiding
Pain dressed up as something beautiful
I’d rather be alone than invisible

[Bridge]
I miss being seen
More than being touched (yeah)
I miss being heard
More than being loved too much
If you only want
The parts that never break
Then you never wanted me
You just wanted what I gave

[Chorus]
I’d rather be alone than invisible
I’d rather stay unknown than die for you
You call it strange
But this is how I change
I’m not avoiding love
I’m avoiding
Every room that makes me beautiful and breakable
I’d rather be alone than invisible
