How to Be Alone

There’s a stranger stalkin’ my room
Peerin' in through the mirror
I caught'm doin' the same in my window pane, and my cereal spoon
Like her, I wish heee'd disappear

Always cursing and bickering, she and I just couldn't be helped
What an odd way to coexist
Finally I’m blessed with time all to myself
I’m just not sure who that is

I forget how to be alone (2x)
And it hurts like hell to change

Begged her to come back to me, when I came to see her
I was never good at playing nonchalant 
She said, “Honestly, is it really me or just the idea
...that ya truly want?”

Stabbed my wrist with a pen, tryin' to re-write my regret
Now there's ink trapped beneath my skin
Coulda used somethin’ sharp if I were smart
or better yet, nothin’
