Call me a fool call me a hopeless mess Call me shackled to my loneliness But I've been through the psychology And it just don't change the way I feel So honey if I don't come back this time Please know that it is no one's fault but mine I just can't see my way clear to riding A sinking ship, but more than this Honey I just want to be alone, I just want to be alone No I'm not in love with anyone And my fury's all been spent and done So there's nothing you could do or say That would make me change my mind and stay So honey if I don't come back at all Please don't ask me why, please don't come calling
Cuz I've got one foot out the door And the other on the gas pedal begging for more Saying I just want to be alone, I just want to be alone If I could, I'd search this whole wide world And I'd bring you back the perfect girl I'd have her woo you til your heart stood still I'd have her love you like I never will So if this time I don't return Please know that there's no lesson to be learned There's just an aching in a heart that's slain And all that I can hear it saying Is "I just want to be alone, I just want to be alone"
