I'm Not Alone Lyrics

I see what I do, first look at the phone
Turn on your TV
Unscrew a bottle of beer,
An orange square cellophane cheese
First I think of this, and then I turn to that
Maybe I just don't think
Might sing to this, I might sing to that
If I could only sing

Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone

There was a day when I was alone
A few sane days ago
There was a love I've been living with
That I lost on the way home
First I thought of this
And then I turn to that
And then I turn a little bit scared
Well, I feel a little bit easier
Knowing that you're here

Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone

First I think of this
Then I turn to that
Then I turn a little scared
I feel a little easier now
Knowing that you're all here

Now, as you can see
This clearly isn't me
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
I'm not alone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Song is about armscrewing some beer...eatin' bad cheese and bein' sad because your girl ran off with the Amway salesman. Apparently this song was written by JB after Kelly Jo davis told'em that she was tradin' her love for Panic for a Ponzi scheme selling huckstar. He apparently fell into a bit of a funk and lived off Krystal burgers and Black Label beer spending most of his time shuckin' on his recliner. Hence he wasn't alone..just blew.

I'm not sure why I posted the previous comments. I think I was alone in my apartment drinking beer and related to the song. The last panic show I was at I was having bad anxiety all day and unable to drink it down. Hearing this song at the show just brought me back to that day drinking beer by myself in my apartment. Did not help the anxiety.
