[Verse 1]
Back when we started
Before we parted
I would wonder what would make her stay
What was I thinking?
As if my drinking was the only thing that drove her away

[Pre-Chorus]
Was it ambition or war of attrition?
Honey, you could always take it out
Now I know beyond the shadow of a doubt it's my fault

[Chorus]
Got me thinking
What it might be like
To be alone for a while
Or alone for just one night

[Verse 2]
I'd share my feelings
You'd hit the ceiling
I couldn't shake it if I tried
You were my lover
Only to discover something inside of me had died

[Pre-Chorus]
Was it ambition or war of attrition?
Honey, you could always take it out
Now I know beyond the shadow of a doubt it's my fault
[Chorus]
Got me thinking
What it might be like
To be alone for a while
Or alone for just one night
