I'd rather

I'd rather be your love than your sister

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail

I'd rather hold hands than anything else

I'd rather be a forest than a street

I'd rather cry with you than laugh alone

I'd rather die than beg for love (again)

I'd rather kiss you than kiss anybody else

I'd rather kiss anybody else than not kiss you

I'd rather wash and brush your hair than win a literary prize

I'd rather stop being so stupid but apparently I can't

I'd rather be alone than risk rejection and abandonment

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail (maybe not)

I'd rather be a green flower surrounded by white leaves than being me
