lyrics

It’s 9 at night, and I’m begging for silence
The kids next door have learned the pleasures of violence
And I’m
In bed alone
It used to be easy, can we go back to those days
New fashioned kids practicing old fashioned ways
Cause I’m
Stuck here at home

And I know that it’s selfish
And I know that I’m wrong
And I know I’m just sitting here
Singing a dumb little song

But
I’m just not used to being alone

It’s 11 PM, these kids just keep on their way
While I try to find the words I’m trying to say
Cause I’m
Not quite a poet
I’m not too pretty, and it was easy to tell
But you looked at me, and suddenly I felt well
And I
Think that you know it

And I’m trying to tell you
I miss the way that you stared
And I know it seems silly
That I actually cared
About the little glances
You shot my way
But I guess what I
Am trying to say

Is
I’m still not used to being alone

And
I keep praying
I keep hoping
You might just keep
Your door open
I don’t think that
I’m alright but
I don’t wanna
Say goodnight ‘cause
Every moment
I can’t find you
Keeps on weighing
On my mind do
You think this is
All a riot
Im just praying
For some quiet

It’s 6 in the morning, and I wish I could say
That I just got up, I’m going to start my day
But I
I’m not a liar
I stayed up all night trying to get it all out
Tried to ignore all of my sadness and doubt
Cause my
Heart is on fire

And I wish I could tell you
I’ll be fine on my own
But now I don’t have something
I know I can call home
And I’ve spent years wondering
Should I have stayed
And fought my conscience
With the games we played
Cause I can’t sleep now
Cause it’s not my home

Maybe I’m just not used to being alone
