Alone
Halsey Lyrics

Said he tried to phone me
Someone claims to have tried to contact me via phone call

But I never have time
I have no availability to receive a phone call

He said that I never listen
The person who tried to call me thinks I don't pay attention to them

But I don't even try
However, the real issue is that I don't put in the effort to listen

I got a new place in Cali But I'm gone every night
I have recently acquired a home in California but I hardly ever stay there

So I fill it with strangers so they keep 'em alive
To keep the house from feeling empty, I invite strangers over to spend time with me

She said she told you she knows me
Someone else claimed to know me to another person

But the face isn't right
However, the person in question couldn't identify me correctly

She asked if I recognized her and I told her I might
When asked if I knew the person, I only vaguely recognized them

See, everywhere I go I got a million different people tryna' kick it
Everywhere I go, there are countless people attempting to befriend me or spend time with me

But I'm still alone in my mind
Despite the number of people around me, I still feel alone and isolated in my thoughts

I know you're dying to meet me
It's clear that you are eager to meet me

But I can just tell you this
However, I have some insight for you

Baby, as soon as you meet me
Once we meet in person

You'll wish that you never did
You will regret ever having met me

I stayed a night out in Paris where they don't know my name
One night, I spent time in Paris where no one recognized or knew my name

And I got into some trouble with that drink in my veins
I found myself in some sort of predicament or crisis after consuming alcohol

I got a problem with parties 'Cause it's loud in my brain
I have issues attending parties since the environment can be overwhelming for me

And I can never say sorry 'Cause I won't take the blame
It's difficult for me to apologize because I refuse to accept responsibility for my actions

I know I always go missing And you're lying awake
I frequently withdraw or disappear, leaving you to worry and stay up at night

But if you ask why I'm distant
However, if you inquire about my distance

Oh, I'm runnin' away
I'm avoiding confronting or dealing with my problems by running away

I, I know you wanna
I am aware that you desire

Slip under my armor
To get close to me and break down my emotional barriers

See, everywhere I go I got a million different people tryna' hit it
Wherever I travel, people approach me for romantic or sexual encounters

Yeah, yeah
Expression of affirmation
