Why Do I Need To Explain Myself To You?

So, I want to stay at home and read.
I'll stay at home and read.
So what if you think that I'm anti-social?
I never cared about being cool anyway.
But that's just me.
I let you be you without trying to change you.
Please extend me the same courtesy.
You probably think I'm miserable being on my own.
Truth is, I'm miserable when I have to paste a fake smile on my face.

So, I'd rather sit back and listen to the conversation.
I'm probably getting lost in my own thoughts.
So what if you think that I'm a bore?
We can't all be talking over each other.
But that's just me.
I'm trying to listen to you.
So please try to listen to me.
You probably think I feel excluded.
Truth is, I'd rather not blow empty air. Or I simply can't be bothered.

So, I like to go out on my own.
It's more relaxing that way sometimes.
So what if that makes me look like a loser?
I enjoy being by myself sometimes.
But that's just me.
I respect the way you choose to spend your days.
Please respect the way I choose to spend mine.
You probably think I'm really lonely.
Truth is, sometimes I'm too tired to play the social game.

So, I choose to live my life this way.
I'm perfectly happy and content.
So what if it's different from what society dictates is the norm?
I'm perfectly happy and content.
But that's just me.
You choose to live your life your way.
And you're perfectly happy and content, I hope.
