Being Alone
Paola Shea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll do anything for my love
but there's nothing I would give up
To have you love me
To have you touch me
I know that it's selfish now
to try to slow it down,
I know that I would take it too far
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
'Cause I don't want to hurt you
In the end we'll lose
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
'Cause I don't want to hurt you
In the end we'll lose
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
For my love
You'll do anything for my love
Wish there's something I would give up
To have you love me
To have you touch me
I know that it's selfish now
to try to slow it down,
but I don't want to take it too far
I know that I will take it too far
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
'Cause I don't want to hurt you
In the end we'll lose
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
'Cause I don't want to hurt you
In the end we'll lose
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
It's selfish now
Slow it down
I'm bad at being alone
I'm bad at being alone
