Not Used To Being Alone 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

I'm 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
