Holding you
Couldn't be alone
Loving you
Couldn't be alone
Kissing you

Holding you
Couldn't be alone
Loving you
Couldn't be alone
Kissing you
Tell me how can you, tell me I belong, tell me I belong

Its not why I trust you, not why I trust you, not why I trust you
Not why I trust you
It's not why I trust you, not why I trust you, not why I trust you
Not why I trust you

Tell me, how can you
Holding you
Couldn't be alone
Loving you
Couldn't be alone
Kissing you
Tell me how can you, tell me I belong, tell me I belong

    Listen,

    I think the whole point behind skewing the tones and pitches of the lyrics from ray-j's One Wish, was to create a lyrical Ambiguity so that one takes it how one wishes.

    I feel that most accurately, the song promotes a more tender and sad subject of break ups in relationships.

    If it were meant to be seen as "good at being alone" one could see it from the perspective of the speaker saying 'It never works out for me, its like I'm good at being anti-social or having relationships not work out'

    From the other side of things, "couldn't be alone" makes everything seem like the speaker is saying something like, 'baby I can't live without you, don't break up with me.'

    Furthermore, I personally don't hear, "Its not why i trust you" but rather "He better trust you" as if the significant other in the relationship is leaving him for someone else. "He better trust you" in this case is synonymous to 'he better treat you well' sort of a bitter 'I hope you're happy!' kind of thing.

    But that's just my opinion.
