[Verse 1]

I'm giving up on breaking hearts

Cause I'm only breaking my own

I need to stop looking for love

When I know I should be alone

I had the world in my hands

But now it rests by my toes

I'm afraid I will crush it if I don't let myself go

[Chorus]

So let me be alone tonight, I can't afford to miss you

There's pressure building inside of me pressing on some issue

Maybe tonight I'll get to the root of it

And pull the tooth of it

But for now I'll just keep trying to get it loose

[Verse 2]

There's a pin in my body holding all my parts together

I am still a child being told to be better

I can almost taste it, the day I can finally break it

I want to feel what everyone else says I could

[Chorus]

So let me be alone tonight, I can't afford to miss you

There's pressure building inside of me pressing on some issue

Maybe tonight I'll get to the root of it

And pull the tooth of it

But for now I'll just keep trying to get it loose
