so there is an art to being alone
like knowing how much to buy at the store
to much and you’ll never finish it allÂ
you’ll waste to much, not that you don’t alreadyÂ
its the way you buy a single ticket to a show
and sneak in that your friends already got there’s
news flash, no they didn’tÂ
or how you manage long tripsÂ
by perfectly crafting a playlist
for exactly 4 hours and 32 minutes with no repeats
its the way you start to count your breathsÂ
because you've used to much as a single person
or how you swear being single is the best
“I get to play the field”
“I get to enjoy not having someone to worry about”
so far the only real positive isÂ
there is one less person to miss you should you be goneÂ
its how you pretend to be happy for all your friendsÂ
and act like being the third wheel is normal
how each time they kiss you are not the slightest bit jealous
then there is the way you solve all your problems alone
and know at least i wont drag anyone else down when I fall
its how even though you want someone else in your life
you couldn't dare let anyone inÂ
not after you've become such a talented artistÂ
