I keep myself to myself and no one else   Knows how it feels to be me and I’m all by myself   I've got a tick and a twitch for everything   The world is made up of boxes that I don’t fit in      Sometimes when I look up    at the stars I feel so alone    because I know that no one can ever    See the world the same way that I do      I am afraid of falling in love so    I keep myself to myself   I want a cookie and I need a hug    but I keep myself to myself      I keep myself to myself    and when I’m sad   I comfort myself with thinking    that no one understands      Sometimes I dig through the shells    at a low tide I wonder if anything    fragile could ever survive    in this world without getting broken      I am afraid of things that can hurt    so I keep myself to myself   I feel completely alone in the world    and I keep myself to myself, to myself      And so wherever I go    I wear my heart uncomfortably on my sleeve      I put my elbows up over my ears    and I keep myself to myself   I close my eyes and the world disappears    and I keep myself to myself      I’ll never be lonely when I am alone    and I keep myself to myself    I live in a little world of my own    and I keep myself to myself, to myself      I keep myself to myself   I keep myself to myself, to myself
