I Don't Like to Be Alone
Embracing Vulnerability: Battling Solitude in Bonnie Bishop's Melody
Lyrics
Lately I got too much time on my hands
Lately, I have too much free time, leading to overthinking.
To think about things I don't understand
Reflecting on things that confuse or puzzle me.
My mind is a broken levee
My mind is overwhelmed and struggling, like a broken levee.
And my thoughts are flowing way too heavy
My thoughts are intense and burdensome.
You used to help me to forget
You used to help me forget past regrets.
Things I have lived to regret
Reminiscing about mistakes I now regret.
Now I got a lot to get over
Dealing with numerous challenges to overcome.
And it's so much harder sober
Overcoming difficulties is tougher without the aid of substances.
Cause I don't like to be alone
Expressing a dislike for being alone.
I don't like to be alone
Reiterating the aversion to solitude.
I've always had somebody's arms
Having relied on others' support throughout life.
Someone to keep me safe from harm
Seeking protection and comfort in someone's arms.
Even when love was just in my head
Preferencing illusions of love over reality.
I preferred the company of illusion instead
Prioritizing imaginary companionship.
But you've brought it to my attention
Someone has made the speaker aware of uncomfortable truths.
Things I prefer not to mention
Avoiding discussion of certain topics due to discomfort.
Now I wanna get fucked up again
Expressing a desire to use substances again to escape discomfort.
Cause I'm too uncomfortable in my own skin
Feeling uneasy and out of place in one's own skin.
I don't like to be alone
Reiterating the aversion to being alone.
I don't like to be alone
Emphasizing the discomfort associated with solitude.
Never wanted you to find me out
Never intended for someone to discover hidden aspects of the speaker.
Never dreamed you would stay around
Surprised that someone chose to stay despite the speaker's flaws.
But you loved me for who I am
The person loved the speaker for who they are.
And it scared me more than I can stand
This love creates fear and discomfort in the speaker.
I don't like to be alone
Reiterating the dislike for solitude.
I don't like to be alone
Continuing to express a strong aversion to being alone.
I don't like to be alone
Emphasizing the speaker's discomfort with solitude.
I don't like to be alone
Reiterating the strong dislike for being alone.
