I wish I could be on my own
Too dependent on others for my own good
I’d walk all the streets all alone if I could
I would
I’d go to the store by myself
Sounds so peaceful till I need help
Wouldn’t know how to ask for it so I don’t
I won’t
I don’t know how to talk to anyone
Yet I always need someone
I wait for everyone to take their turn
Before I do
I never learn
If I don’t look out for myself nobody else will
I take the wrong turn before getting it right
I hate the thrill
But I can’t sit still
No I can’t sit still
Bitter knowing some things must end
So afraid that you’ll lose all your new friends too
I’d take all the pain from your mind if I could, I would
Promise everything always works out
But you don’t want anyone to make promises now
Used to waiting for them to fall through so I don’t, I won’t
You never open up to anyone
But I know you need someone
You hide the parts of you that still hurt
It makes it worse
You never learn
If you don’t stand up for yourself nobody else will
You take the wrong turn till you can’t set it right
You hate the thrill
But you can’t sit still
No you can’t sit still
I need someone
Just anyone
Don’t leave me alone
(You are not alone)
Just stay on the phone
(I’ll stay on the phone)
I can’t be alone
I can’t be alone
Don’t leave me alone
(You are not alone)
I can’t be alone
(I won’t let you go)
I can’t be alone
Don’t leave me alone
I can’t be alone
I can’t be alone
I can’t be alone
And I can’t sit still
No we can’t sit still
We can’t sit still
