[Verse 1]
Hey now, there's something I should tell you
It's keeping me up most nights
I can't sleep
This pressure is more than ordinary
It's coming down around me
I can't sleep
[Chorus]
Now you understand what it means to be alone
All these nights I spent fighting with the phone
When I get so high, I drag myself home
Through broken glass until I'm broken bones
[Verse 2]
Patience has never been my virtue
So I just keep pretending that I'm better now
My struggle is as real as anything else
And I don't want to feel down anymore
[Bridge]
Will it lift you up when you're down?
A bigger house a better yard
You just want the secret to your own happy ending
There's only so much you can buy
When there's just nothing left to hide behind
So smile big cause that's the only thing that's real
[Chorus]
Now you understand what it means to be alone
All these nights I spent fighting with the phone
When I get so high, I drag myself home
Through broken glass until I'm broken bones
