[Verse 1]

You said goodbye, packed up your things

And flew over the sea

You said you’d return in the spring

Oh, you said you’d return to me

But when you returned, it wasn’t the same

You looked like an angel, glass eyes so fragile and

I wondered what could have changed

But you said, "It’s fine, I’m alright

I swear this is normal, she’s not my type

No, I just need to go home, I need to be alone for a while

I need to be alone for a while"

[Verse 2]

And, oh, what a year that must have been

I wish I could ask every detail about the things you saw

And what could have changed your mind

And I heard your sister found you

In the oak tree that we used to climb through

And your parents chopped it down

But she said, "It’s time

For me to discover that sometimes life is alright

It’s not good, it’s not bad, it’s just fine"

Said everything was alright

But you lied

[Verse 3]

And right now, I'm so angry at you

Oh, how could you do this to me?

You said you were fine, everything was alright

And I had to believe

Yes, I had to concede

But you were the last to arrive

And the first one to leave

But it's fine, I'm alright, I swear this is normal

How every damn night these days

I need to go home, I need to be alone for a while

I need to be alone for a while
