Afterthought

There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone
It wasn't 'cause I thought
I'd be happy alone
It was because I thought
if I loved someone
and then it fell apart
I might not make it
It's easier to be alone
Because what if you learn
that you need love
and then you don't have it
What if you like it
and lean on it
What if you shape your life around it
and then
it falls apart.
