I'm not afraid to be walking down this road
Can you see yourself living on your own
I'll be coming out clearing spiderwebs
Trying to ignore everything you've said
And those flowers that you gave me
Now they're wilting on the windowsill
And now the lamplight's showing
What you probably never will

Chorus:
So alone, when you're not in love
So close, you've had enough
Hear me out, stuck in this rut
Stop yourself, army of one

Crystal-clear memories I have kept
Meaning so much more than the rest
If I were smarter I would realize
I was in the right place at the wrong time
If you were any kind of sane at all
You'd light your life on fire
If you were any kind of man at all
You'd try to explain to me why you're

(Chorus)

Reality tends to repeat itself
On your knees wishing to be someone else
Maybe I'm fine but maybe I need help
I can't look at reflections of myself
Shoes walk on without you
Can't keep up, just let (them/it) go
Roof of tin starts heating up
These nouns won't let you show

(Chorus)

Everyday things take their toll
Just plain living is killing me
Cover my ears to hide from the truth
I'm what I never wanted to be
I wanted more
You wanted everything I couldn't be
I wanted you
Did you want me

(Chorus?)

You didn't want me
