[Verse 1]
I've ended up alone with myself
At the bar downstairs, it was going well for both of us
I looked thin, badly shaved
I invited me to everything, I didn't let myself pay

We've always had a very similar sense of humor
If I cry, I make up for it with a good joke

When everybody had left, by my side
I said to myself: "I'm better"
That calmed me down

Unanimously, I've decided that today
We want a break from you

[Chorus]
Because from time to time, I need to give myself a truce
Because when I can't do it any more, I need to get it right
I know I'm deceiving myself, I know I'm deceiving myself
But we're not hurting anybody else

[Verse 2]
I've ended up alone with myself
Both of us were nervous, as always before a date
She broke up with someone recently too
She warned us that her son was sleeping, told us to keep the noise down
And we went up (We went up)
To her apartment (We went up)
We sat on the bed (Very small)
When she threw herself around my neck (All of a sudden)
We said, "Now's the time"

We closed our eyes
It was like it was you

[Chorus]
Because from time to time, I need to give myself a truce
Because when I can't do it any more, I need to get it right
I know I'm deceiving myself, I know I'm deceiving myself
But we're not hurting anybody else

Because from time to time, I need to give myself a truce
Because when I can't do it any more, I need to get it right
I know I'm deceiving myself, I know I'm deceiving myself
But we're not hurting
Anybody
Anybody
Anybody else

[Verse 3]
It must be so hard every time you run into, time you run into, time you run into
A new low-cost version of me
It must be so hard every time you run into, time you run into, time you run into
A new low-cost version of me
How are you supposed to do it?
It must be so hard every time you run into, time you run into, time you run into
A new low-cost version of me
It must be so hard every time you run into, time you run into, time you run into
A new low-cost version of me
It must be so hard every time you run into, time you run into, time you run into
A new low-cost version of me
It must be so hard every time you run into, time you run into, time you run into
A new low-cost version of me
How are you supposed to do it?
