[Verse One]
Why we can't get it right at home
Girl
I can't handle you. You can't handle me
We can't handle our world
See me on Tuesday, next day I'm out of state
Scene in my city be like every other place—pretty fake
Where else could we go?
Too many roads
Too many wounds
I don't wanna be wound to you, you know
Not to long ago
We was in the pool
I was into you
We skinny dipped, could of got arrested
But we was invested in some higher— truth
You? Look at you-you
Forget the way we swayed the water oh-oh
Sound penetrate the water like a flame turn blue
You finger-trace my shoulder blades
With hands that memorize my face Smooth
I must admit, I can't forget the way an orgasm bloom
Like the orbit of a moon that eclipses in a private room
Memory
This love ain't bullet proof
Revelry
You and me we ain't bullet proof
Remember theeee
Ammunition we keep
In our mouth like a loose tooth
Talk is what we do: shoot-shoot
[Chorus]
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
Don't you know about?
Don't you know about Donnie Darko?
[Verse Two]
Emotional weight
Makes the surface of this relationship easy to break
Holy earthquake. Ain't no middle ground
Just a bunch of romance predicated on the concept of fate
I don't want to use a song like a choke chain
I just write what comin' out from my veins
Ain't no easy way to say, the picture we painted
Has started to fade
My bad, dam, left the cap off the toothpaste
Your disapproving glance makes my body conflate
Weight
“Hold up, hey
Why we out of touch?
How this fight erupt?”
I said what? Now your stung and your bringin up old sh**
All your feelings shows up like “oh sh**.”
Could you be more drastic?
Like you wish you never knew me what is that sh**?”
Like you can't see most of what we have is fantastic:
Love friendship intimacy how you gonna look past this?”
Right?
But look at all this baggage
We can't even mask it
So dam tragic
Sigh
d**h-d**h dancing
Bunch of hammers in our hands
Actin like we ain't already built these caskets
Why?
[Chorus]
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
Don't you know about?
Don't you know about Donnie Darko?
[Verse Three]
What a twinkle in my eye on a Saturday night
My boy said he bout to have a baby
And I told him its goin be alright
What a miracle is life
But some days I'm not afraid to toss it a side
When you get this age and you witness suicides
When you get to this age you feel young and old at the same time
In the living room with a change maker and his incredible wife
Trying to figure out the secret to their success
But I see the struggle in their eyes
We all holdin' on ‘til we die
We all holdin' on ‘til we die
People grow alone
People grow. People don't
People grow apart
People fade away
People get afraid
People braid their hopes
People gotta cope
Relationships need soil and water and sun you know?
We got the water and it flow
But we both fightin' for the sun, branchin' out. Oh, no
Branch this message in your memory
Cuz I feel this heavily
I'm lonely in my mental. See
I prefer to be alone when it just me
As opposed to feeling all alone next to someone struggling to love me
Cuz I struggle to love me
We do the same thing!
[Chorus]
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
I live alone, I live alone (ha, ha, ha)
Don't you know about?
Don't you know about Donnie Darko?
[Outro]
Don't you know about Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Darko?
I think we k**ed us and we died-died
Woke up in my bed like where is my pride-pride?
I think we k**ed us and we died-died
Can't even cry cuz we done this too many time-times
I think I k**ed us and we died-died
Woke up in my bed like who by my side-side?
I think we k**ed us and we died-died
Woke up in our bed like new water, new soil, new life
New...life
