lyrics

She thinks she knows the kind of boy I am
She thinks that I could probably be her man
But after a while she's gonna wipe off her smile
And she'll realize that it wasn't worth all the while

Because she'd rather be alone
Than waste her time being with me
And never pick up her phone
For a guy just like me
And I wonder if I'll ever meet a girl
That'll actually want to be around me

I could tell that she was attracted to me
And no other girl was ever as good looking as she
But after a while she realized I'm a bore
And she was better off leaving me alone like before

But still I'd rather be alone
Than waste my time honestly
And never pick up my phone
For some girl who'll just leave
And I wonder if I'll ever meet a girl
That'll actually want to be around me

It isn't her fault she couldn't understand me
I'm just a lost cause who doesn't want to be lonely
But I think that perhaps it's just too late for me
To find a girl that'll want me for who I am only

So I'd rather be alone
Than waste my time honestly
And never pick up my phone
For some girl who'll just leave
And I wonder if that one day I'll meet a girl
Who will actually want to be around me
