Where did you go and what did you do with all that time?
Weren't you too scared to move?
What is it like to be by yourself for three and half years?
For roughly three and a half years

If we could just pretend that I went to college and that's why you haven't seen me
I wanted to sleep but, not for this long
I overdid it

Why did you say that I was one in a million?
Because I believed it
I thought I had something that you were too scared to lose
So if we could just pretend that I went to college or traveled abroad or did something different
Anything but just sitting at home for three and a half years, writing poem after poem after poem

So what is it like to be by yourself and not feel like you're dying around everyone else?
I thought I was one in a million
Well thanks for nothing
Thank you
Thank you
