[Verse 1]
I saw my teeth, they cut the floor
The water rushin' under the door
Couldn't wake up, couldn't keep my head above the waves
I was naked, you felt wrong
Inside my body, I got it wrong
We were tryna make up but I couldn't bear to
Hear you say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tryin' not to think about it
Push it to the back of my brain
But I hear it screamin', shoutin'
I can't even think of my own name
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is be alone
Write a song by myself
All I wanna do is be alone
Lose my phone, be someone else
Be someone else, be someone else
Be someone else, be someone
All I wanna do is be alone, be alone
[Verse 2]
I need a smoke just to breathe
To be around you, not underneath
Sick of distractions (Sick of distractions)
Want a reaction (Want a reaction)
Issue's still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tryin' not to think about it
Push it to the back of my brain
But I hear it screamin', shoutin'
I can't even think of my own name
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is be alone
Write a song by myself
All I wanna do is be alone
Lose my phone, be someone else
Be someone else, be someone else
Be someone else, be someone
All I wanna do is be alone, be alone
[Bridge]
Everything's changin' all around me
Caught up in the chaos that surrounds me
Slippin' even deeper like I'm drownin' (All I wanna do is, all I wanna)
(All I wanna do is, all I wanna)
Everything is changin' all around me (All I wanna do is, all I wanna)
Caught up in the chaos that surrounds me (All I wanna do is, all I wanna)
Slippin' even deeper like I'm drownin' (All I wanna do is, all I wanna)
(All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is)
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is be alone
Write a song by myself
All I wanna do is be alone
Lose my phone, be someone else
Be someone else, be someone else
Be someone else, be someone
All I wanna do is be alone, be alone

I have tried singing this live and it’s still really hard for me to not cry. “Someone Else” has offered me a lot of healing since that day.

You are hearing the original vocal take where I was crying. It’s not perfect but it’s honest and it’s real.
