I wake up to the smell of roses
And I try my best to hear you out
I can't find my keys or my wallet
I'm scraping my bones up off the floor
And each time that I thought I'd figured out
You were always one step
You were always one step
Ahead of me, oh
Now you got me choosing
Knowing that I can't be alone
Be Alone
And everybody knows it
You and I just can't get along
I filled your papers and made you breakfast
I played all of your favorite songs
You kept me around
Like a blanket
And through me outside
Like a dog
And each time that I thought I'd figured out
You were always one step
You were always one step
Ahead of me, oh
Now you got me choosing
Knowing that I can't be alone
Be Alone
And everybody knows it
You and I just can't get along
And each time that I thought I'd figured out
You were always one step
You were always one step
Ahead of me, oh
Now you got me choosing
Knowing that I can't be alone
Be alone
And everybody knows it
You and I just can't get along
