Alone

I can't read your mind
i don't know who you are
you play me like a clown
and you know it

i won't save you from yourself
and the choices you make
there's no need to explain
so save it.

i'm alone when i'm with you
i'm alone when i'm not
i alone can know this need
this overwhelming grief.

you can't read my mind
though you think you know me
i am not a clown
i really hate it

don't condescend
don't ignore me
don't make me a fool
don't do it.

i'm alone when i'm with you
i'm alone when i'm not
i alone can know this grief
this overwhelming need.
