So  ill dig a hole in my room
 From Birmingham  and back again  for you
 In the end they say we’ll see the truth
 What a shocking  beauty  we can both abuse
 So I folded my hands into a bird
 The shadows  made you laugh
 They made you sunburned
 And I stitched my faith into your shirt
 To make sure nobody  but me  was getting hurt
 And you love being cast as the fool
 In a movie  no one ever  pays to sit  through
 Just calm down it will be over soon
 And god I wonder  what it is  I’d do without you
Do  you really  like being alone?
Do  you really  like being alone?
La  di da da da da
And  the lord made me confront my past
 We asked each other  to explain  the mess
 I believed with enough good I’d mend
 But any good  I had was always  simply tempered
 And I tried hard to sing like they did
 With my arms  raised in the air  I was praising
 You said that when we died it would send
 But even baby  Jesus knew  that I was faking
Do  you really  like being alone,  Goddamn of course you don’t
Do  you really  like being alone?
Do  you really  like being alone?
 Wouldn’t blame you if you went back  home
 And got an actual job
 And you kissed your wife  and your two daughters
 Like I wished I could
 And I think that we’d be free
 Oh my god I think you finally  feel  free
I  don’t really  like being alone
 God, of course I don’t
I  don’t really  like being alone
I  don’t really  like being alone
 I think I might just go back  home
 And get an actual job
 Stop selling my soul  to the devil
 He buys so much merch  from us
 And I think he’d set us free
 Yeah I think he’d cut  the chains
 And set you  and me free
Do  you really  like being alone?
Cause  I don’t really  like being alone
Do  you really  like being alone?
 I think I might just go back home
 And get an actual job
 And tell both my  redneck neighbors
 To bring their dogs  inside
 And I could get some sleep
 Cause I think all I need
 Is a decent night  sleep
