(Bill rice, mary sharon rice) I don't mind to give you a slow dance or two I'm sorry I'm not at my best I know you can see I'm incredibly blue But I'm not that lonely yet I look in your eyes while you're dancing with me And try to fulfill your request But don't ask for favors when it's time to leave Cause I'm not that lonely yet Now don't say you want me I've heard that before The words weigh like stones in my head There may come a time when I'll think of you more But I'm not that lonely yet It's nice to be dancing To waltzes again And maybe it helps to forget You've opened the door but I'm not waltzing in Cause I'm not that lonely yet No I'm not that lonely yet

People say that I should get out Wash my hair and get off the couch But I don't wanna party or have strangers' lips on mine For a change, I'm putting me first Solitude, ain't no dirty word Wanna chill in my PJs, got some quiet in my mind I'm alone, but I'm not lonely So please don't feel sorry for me I fractured my heart, I'm fallin' apart And I can't do that again 'Cause my eyes just end up flooded And right now, I can't be trusted With nobody else, I'm good with myself Yeah, I know that I'm alone, but I'm not lonely I've been learning how to say no Feels so good to shut off my phone Instead of givin' my body up for somethin' that won't last I fall in love too easy, I know Easy come, and then easy go And I just end up missing someone I never really had I'm alone, but I'm not lonely So please don't feel sorry for me I fractured my heart, I'm fallin' apart And I can't do that again 'Cause my eyes just end up flooded And right now, I can't be trusted With nobody else, I'm good with myself Yeah, I know that I'm alone, but I'm not lonely Too many wasted hours Givin' away all my power Not gonna do that no more Not gonna do that no more 'Cause my eyes just end up flooded And right now, I can't be trusted With nobody else, I'm good with myself Yeah, I know that I'm alone, but I'm not lonely

I got a little bird, I'm gonna take her home Put her in a cage and disconnect the phone If you give me a look, I'm gonna get the book I'm gonna preach the word I wanna preach to birds As I walk the floor Yeah, this I know When I get you home, this is how it goes I got nothing to lose, I'll never let you go

Well, somebody walked up to me but I didn't know what to do Then somebody said hello to me, but I didn't know what to do Because I think that my words could get twisted So I bend my back over, take a gulp, be funny 'Cause I know there's nothing I can do Then my mother tried to pick me up 'cause I was sittin' down on the ground Something forced my little eyes to come open, but I couldn't make out the sound It doesn't matter 'cause my eyes are lying, and they don't have emotion Don't wanna be social, can't take it when they hate me But I know there's nothing I can do When my thoughts start to feel like mine They're taken from me, it seems to happen every time And the feelings that are fine for you There's somebody there who doesn't think they are true So think of something new There's nothing left to do Then my idols walk next to me, I look up at them, they fade away It's a destruction of a mystery the more I listen to what they say So does that mean that there's no more doing, and there's no more thinking And there's no more feeling, 'cause there's no right opinion? Can you tell me what I'm supposed to do?
