Why are you here?

Couldn't you tell him?

Were you afraid he'd hear?

You should have been thankful to be alone
Advising gratitude for being alone, implying it's a positive situation.
You took off your shoes

Said anything further would be bad news
Stating that further conversation would have negative consequences.
'cause you'd already started to disappear
Suggesting a process of self-withdrawal or fading away.
And he couldn't complain

Just looked at yourlyric and crossed over to play
Describing an action of crossing over to engage in a different activity.
A record of quiet instrumentals
Describing the alternative activity as playing a record of quiet instrumentals.
And I like what you wrote
Expressing appreciation for something written by the person addressed.
This is a record full of sour notes
Criticizing the content as containing negative or dissonant elements.
You should've been thankful to be alone
Reiterating the advice to be grateful for solitude.
And I like what you wrote
Repeating appreciation for the person's writing.
But don't say you mean it when you know you don't
Cautioning against insincerity in expressing meaning.
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
Reiterating the importance of being grateful for solitude.
You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
Emphasizing once again the significance of being thankful for being alone.
You should have been thankful to be alone
Stressing the importance of gratitude for solitude.
