Everybody knows that I'm breaking down Everybody knows I ain't fakin' now
Everybody knows my heart's vacant now
Yeah, she hates me now, I made mistakes, but now
I don't ever wanna be alone, I don't really ever feel at home
On my own, in the zone
That's the only way I know, feelin' low
'Bout to blow back up, here I go
I will never let the doubt creep in
Gotta pop a couple more Aspirin
I don't think I'll ever let you in
Easier to break it off as friends
I don't really understand myself
I don't really understand, need help
I don't wanna be left on the shelf
Couldn't even hear me if I yelled
It's so cold outside
I'm alone, I'm alright
It's so cold outside
I'm alone, I'm alright​

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary,

explanation:

d is the best answer for this question.

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
