I remember thinking as I laid upon the floor   all of the lights off and listening to Sharp   I was afraid   I was afraid   but I'm not sure what of   and I would shut my eyes and turn on the tv   to people speaking in a language I can't speak   and I would say, how I would say   that I was being healthy   and nobody saw me at all   but sometimes you just gotta be alone   and if you can't be happy on your own   then how will you ever be happy with somebody else   think I was dancing when she walked into the room   next thing I know, we're sharing a cab home   I made her laugh   I made her laugh   but I should've left it alone   cause cut to two weeks later and I'm picking at a scab   when at a party her friend tells me "don't be mad"   'twas a mistake, a small mistake   and I was aware of that   but no, it don't hurt that bad   it's only a scratch   I'm not a train wreck for you   like they say   but sometimes you just gotta be alone   and if you can't be happy on your own   then how will you ever be happy with somebody else   well she was falling down the stairs, drunk and pathetic   it was so hard not to laugh, I won't ever forget   I was sitting on the floor, dressed up as batman   flicking people off and making fun of their accents   concluding to myself that I would always be alone   but it was premature, I was only nineteen years old.   but sometimes you just gotta be alone   and if you can't be happy on your own   then how will you ever be happy with somebody else...else   but sometimes you just gotta be alone   and if you can't be happy on your own   then how will you ever be happy with somebody else   but sometimes you just gotta be alone   and if you can't be happy on your own   then how will you ever be happy with somebody else
