Set me on fire

I got downtown at 9:02
two mintues late but so were you
called at twenty five past 10
to say you couldn't make it again
just like the last time, on my own tonight
what's going on? you've been gone so long
your alphabet stops at I
and that's where we'll leave you

It's ok to be alone once in a while
sometimes I can make myself smile
and tell everyone I'm doing fine
maybe it's just denial

You set my ambivalence on fire
mixed feelings walking on a wire
you burned my prospects to the ground
when you said "baby look around
and see everyone says we were never meant to be"

your alphabet stops at I
and that's where we'll leave you

It's ok to be alone once in a while
sometimes I can make myself smile
and tell everyone I'm doing fine
maybe it's just denial
