Sitting with your faults Learning 'bout yourself Maybe you were meant to put yourself through hell Showing off your knots Playing show and tell to the world Drown yourself with beer, hope it makes you cry Breakdown in the morning and once in the night One half wants to smile and the other to die And now you're freaking out Every single time You're all by yourself Cause you can't be Why can't you just be alone And why's someone else in your room And why can't you accept what's true Why can't you just be alone And why's someone else in your room And why can't you accept what's true You can't stare at stars the same way And you can't drive your car the same way And you can't stand to smile the same way And none of the flowers smell the same And all of your hours fade away Reminiscin' things you should've said To her And now you're freaking out Every single time You're all by yourself Cause you can't be Why can't you just be alone And why's someone else in your room And why can't you accept what's true Why can't you just be alone And why's someone else in your room And why can't you accept what's true You'll keep calling And she'll ignore it So you'll stay dreaming about her Why can't you just be alone And why's someone else in your room And why can't you accept what's true Why can't you just be alone And why's someone else in your room And why can't you accept what's true Why can't you just be alone
