Not Lonely, Just Alone

by Chloe Gilligan

on Not Lonely, Just Alone (2017)

[Verse 1]
We're cracking up
For the first time in six months and
I know you missed it too
Tried catching up
Over shifting eyes and coffee cups, but
You'll never say you miss me too

[Verse 2/Pre Chorus]
How's your sister been?
Is she gonna come visit in the fall again?
And you say she's doing just fine
She moved back to Baton Rouge
And in June she might move in with you
And she asked a-bout me, the other night

[Chorus]
You can tell her I'm not lonely
I'm just alone
And if you try to hold me
I'll tell you don't
And if I say I miss you
And you say I miss you more
I'd say baby, you don't know me
Baby you don't know me anymore

[Verse 3]
Hear you got a new girlfriend
And you're everything she wanted, but you
Keep on asking about me
And I say
I just keep my family close, and I
Fan the fire, burn the hope
'Cause I lost my mind trying to fix broken things

[Verse 4/Pre Chorus]
We try to pretend
There's no brick wall in the middle of the table
And you say 'Can't believe how long it's been'
I know but we tried to stay friends
You needed a gap but she stepped in
And I found me again

[Chorus]
And baby, I'm not lonely
I'm just alone
And if you try to hold me
I'll tell you don't
And if I say I miss you
And you say I miss you more
I'd say baby, you don't know me
Baby you don't know me anymore

[Bridge]
You don't know me anymore-ore-oh-ore
And I own it
The conversation, 'cos you're holding in
I miss you's and I hate it
'Cause I
Didn't ask to meet up this time

[Chorus]
'Cause baby I'm not lonely
I'm just alone
And if you try to hold me
I'll tell you don't
'Cause baby you don't know me
No-o
Baby you don't know me, no-o

Baby I'm not lonely (ooh)
I'm just alone (ha ha ha)
And if you try to hold me
I'll tell you don't (ha ha ha)
'Cause you don't even know me
You don't know me (ha ha ha)
Baby you don't know me
Baby you don't know me
Baby you don't know me
Did you ever really know me?
No, you will never know me
'Cause baby that's the old me
You don't even know me
Anymore
