Mansions - Gotta Be Alone lyrics

rate me

I remember thinking *when* I laid upon the floor

all of the lights off and listening to Sharp

I was afraid*, I was afraid*

but I'm not sure what of

and I would shut my eyes and turn on the tv

to people speaking in a language I can't speak

and I would say, how I would say

that I was being healthy

but no, nobody saw me at all

but *they say sometimes you just gotta be alone*

and if you can't be happy on your own

then how will you ever be happy with somebody else

think I was dancing when she walked into the room

next thing I know, we're sharing a cab home

I made her laugh*, I made her laugh*

but I should've left it alone

cause cut to two weeks later *and I have to face the facts*

when at a party her friend tells me "don't be mad"

'twas a mistake, a small mistake

and I was aware of that

but no, it don't hurt that bad

it's only a scratch

I'm not a train wreck for you

well she was falling down the stairs, drunk and pathetic

it was so hard not to laugh, I won't ever forget

I was sitting on the floor, dressed up as batman

flicking people off and making fun of their accents

concluding to myself that I would always be alone*, alone*

but it was premature, I was only nineteen years old
