How To Be Alone

It's that time of the night
When I put on the t-shirt you left
I turn off the lights
And I sleep on your side of the bed

I still listen to your voicemails
Just to hear your voice
Put our playlist on repeat
'Cause the silence you left is making too much noise

I lie
To myself
Say I'm fine
By myself
But when
I hear footsteps in the hallway
I pretend you're coming home
That's the only way I know how to be alone

I know you're on your phone
But I ignore the reasons you don't call
Write texts I'll never send
While you're probably not thinking of me at all

I can taste you on my lips
When I'm kissing someone else
I still feel you on my body
And I swear it hurts like hell
(But I won't tell)

I lie
To myself
Say I'm fine
By myself
But when
I hear footsteps in the hallway
I pretend you're coming home
That's the only way I know how to be

I got too used to having you around
And I know
I got addicted to your touch and now
I can't go
To all the places that me and you found
Maybe for a second can you pretend you're coming home
'Cause I don't know how to be alone

I lie
To myself
Say I'm fine
By myself
But when
I hear footsteps in the hallway
I pretend you're coming home
That's the only way I know how to be alone

I lie
To myself
Say I'm fine
By myself
But when
I hear footsteps in the hallway
I pretend you're coming home
That's the only way I know how to be alone

I don't know how to be alone
Pretend you're coming home
'Cause I don't know how to be alone
