I Would Rather

I would rather be numb
From a bottle of rum
Than numb from the pain you've caused

I would rather cry
Over the broken wings of a butterfly
Than cry over my heart you've broken

I would rather my legs give out
From walking about
Than give out from hearing you say goodbye

I would rather my stomach ache
Over a medical mistake
Than over the lack of your presence

I would much rather this pain
To be from anything else
But it's all from you
