all i can handle, all i can bear
is that you just stop and i just stare
let's take this slowly while you bring me up to speed
i'm not the one you want, am i the one i need?
let it sink in before you let yourself out
just be with me while i learn to be lonely
well, i may be an animal but my instincts reign
i wanna hurt you back and make you feel some pain
but i'll just hold on tighter while you try and let me go
you're not the one i thought, am i the one i know?
let it sink in before you let yourself out
just be with me while i learn to be lonely
i don't think it will be too hard
to learn to fall apart
come on, baby, don't depart
'til i have a fully broken heart
i'm trying hard to learn this art
of flames and failure and false starts
be a dear and do your part
help me with the weight of this heavy heart
all i can handle, all i can bear
is that you just stop and i just stare
let it sink in before you let yourself out
just be with me while i learn to be lonely
