How To Not Be Alone Lyrics by Helen J Shen

Maybe Happy Ending (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2025

[CLAIRE]
So here we are, in some motel
Trying to do what neither of us does well
We have to not be alone
I'm cringing less, I'm laughing more
As I forget the stranger you were before
We're slowly getting in sync
And I'm beginning to think
It's not so bad
Discovering how this works
Adjusting to your quirks
Even though it's not my style
Teach me to not be alone
It's not so hard
To let somebody in
Just think how long it's been
Since somebody made you smile
Learn how to not be alone
And by tomorrow
It seems absurd, but do you suppose
That you and I might wake up to find we're pros
At being not alone
[OLIVER, spoken]
Hey, I'm thinking of switching up the playlist tomorrow, so instead of late swing era, it'd be more post-bop, birth of the cool kinds of tracks, J-room moon dreams, God-child, Budo, Duplicity-
[CLAIRE]
So yes, it's hard
Indulging him when he's
Describing his LPs
Or conversing with his plant
It takes work to not be alone
But I'm improving
And do I sense
A change in you
A little hint
That you might be learning too
How to be not alone
The open road
A vast unknown
But look at us
We're not alone
