Scared to Be Alone

We never stop to wonder

Till a person's gone

We never yearn

To know him

Till he's traveled on

When someone is around us

We never stop to ask

Hey, what's behind your mirror

Hey, who's beneath your mask

We never stop to wonder

Till a person's gone

We never yearn

To know him

Till he's packed

And traveled on

Sweet Marilyn Monroe

On the silver screen

Platinum reflection

In a movie magazine

Well, did you ever

Have a headache

Did your mama own a gramaphone

Did you like to be an actress

Were you scared

To be alone

We never stop to wonder

Till a person's gone

We never yearn

To know him

Till he's traveled on

When someone is around us

We don't know what we're seeing

We take a Polaroid picture

To find the human being

We never stop to wonder

Till a person's gone

We never yearn

To know him

Till he's packed

And traveled on

Sweet beautiful Jesus

On a painted cross

Polystyrene body

With a superficial gloss

Hey, were you

Jealous of your father

Were you short

When you were fully grown

Did you like to walk on water

Were you scared

To be alone

I think perhaps tomorrow

I'll try to make a friend

To really get

To know him

Instead of pretend

I'll ask him if his feet hurt

Has he burdens to be shared

And if he doesn't walk away

I'll ask him

If he's scared

And if he doesn't walk away

If his eyes don't

Turn to stone

I'll ask him

If he's scared

To be alone
