Why are you here? Couldn't you tell him? Were you afraid he'd hear? You should have been thankful to be alone You took off your shoes Said anything further Would be bad news 'Cause you'd already started to disappear And he couldn't complain Just looked at your lyric And crossed over to play A record of quiet instrumentals Said I like what you wrote This a record full of sour notes Should have been thankful to be alone Said I like what you wrote But don't say you mean it When you know you don't You should have been thankful to be alone, you know You should have been thankful to be alone, you know You should have been thankful to be alone
