What have you been up to,   That warrants not letting me know?   Tell me, why should I believe you?   I've been worried for hours   When all you really had to do was call.   Exactly what makes that so hard?      Oh we've crossed this road before,   And while familiar is helpful:   It's getting old      If there's a way to stay in control,   Someone let me know   Because I can't even waste my breath unless my other half knows   And it's madness that everybody   Learns to live with day by day with what to show?      And I think I'm better off alone      Well I remember a time when   It didn't matter where I go   How I love to have that freedom   And it's not like I'm asking   For this to happen all the time   Exactly what makes that so hard?      By now I'm sure you know,   I get a little resentful   When I watch as all my options fly one way straight to the floor   Oh and I know all of this has gone way too far   Whoa       If there's a way to stay in control,   Someone let me know   Because I can't even waste my breath unless my other half knows   And it's madness that everybody   Learns to live with day by day with what to show?      And I think I'm better off alone      We all amount to nothing on our own   That's how it goes   So forget what you're told,   It's just a constant struggle back in forth it goes      If there's a way to stay in control,   Someone let me know   Because I can't even waste my breath unless my other half knows   And it's madness that everybody   Learns to live with day by day with what to:   To show for places I've been,   For all the money I've spent,   To show for people that I could have met but had to stay in?   I'm not opposing this, no   I don't preach abstinence   I just think that once and again,   We need to be alone
