I keep myself to myself and no one else Knows how it feels to be me and I'm all by myself I've got a tick and a twitch for everything The world is made up of boxes that I don't fit in Sometimes when I look up At the stars I feel so alone Because I know that no one can ever See the world the same way that I do I am afraid of falling in love so I keep myself to myself I want a cookie and I need a hug But I keep myself to myself I keep myself to myself And when I'm sad I comfort myself with thinking That no one understands Sometimes I dig through the shells At a low tide I wonder if anything Fragile could ever survive In this world without getting broken I am afraid of things that can hurt So I keep myself to myself I feel completely alone in the world And I keep myself to myself, to myself And so wherever I go I wear my heart uncomfortably on my sleeve I put my elbows up over my ears And I keep myself to myself I close my eyes and the world disappears And I keep myself to myself I'll never be lonely when I am alone And I keep myself to myself I live in a little world of my own And I keep myself to myself, to myself I keep myself to myself I keep myself to myself, to myself
