I keep myself to myself and no one else
Knows how it feels to be me and I'm all by myself
I've got a tick and a twitch for everything
The world is made up of boxes that I don't fit in
Sometimes when I look up
at the stars I feel so alone
because I know that no one can ever
See the world the same way that I do
I am afraid of falling in love so
I keep myself to myself
I want a cookie and I need a hug
but I keep myself to myself
I keep myself to myself
and when I'm sad
I comfort myself with thinking
that no one understands
Sometimes I dig through the shells
at a low tide I wonder if anything
fragile could ever survive
in this world without getting broken
I am afraid of things that can hurt
so I keep myself to myself
I feel completely alone in the world
and I keep myself to myself, to myself
And so wherever I go
I wear my heart uncomfortably on my sleeve
I put my elbows up over my ears
and I keep myself to myself
I close my eyes and the world disappears
and I keep myself to myself
I'll never be lonely when I am alone
and I keep myself to myself
I live in a little world of my own
and I keep myself to myself, to myself
I keep myself to myself
I keep myself to myself, to myself
