Lyrics Emeli Sandé

Emeli Sandé

I'd Rather Not

Something like a hurricane

Total destruction to wrench away

You went in straight for the jugular

And that's what I got for just loving ya

Arrows and bullets flew

Your tongue loves war in the afternoon

Your favorite bomb was "let's just be friends"

But now you're suggesting we try again

But if it's all the same to you

As much as I'd love to

I'd rather not

I'd rather not have my heart blown to pieces again

No, I can't make it stop

But I'd rather not

I'd rather not

What's the good in paradise

At any moment it could vaporize

So dangerous to ever get used to you

Do you have any idea what you put me through?

See, now my heart's a Frankenstein

Super-glued after your dynamite

And just when I thought I have got some closure

You started talking 'bout starting over

But if it's all the same to you

As much as I'd love to

I'd rather not

I'd rather not have my heart blown to pieces again

No, I can't make it stop

But I'd rather not

I'd rather not

See, when it was good it was amazing

But the bad was devastating

We could never seem to find an in-between

And God knows I know you

And nothing came before you

But I don't have the heart to risk what's left of me

So if it's all the same to you

As much as I'd love to

I'd rather not

I'd rather not have my heart blown to pieces again

No, I can't make it stop

But I'd rather not

I'd rather not

But if it's all the same to you

As much as I love you

I'd rather not

No, I'd rather not get my heart ripped into pieces

No, no, no, no, no

I'd rather not

No, I'd rather not

But if it's all the same to you

As much as I love you

I'd rather not

I'd rather not have my heart blown to pieces again
