I Want to Be Alone, I Don’t Want to Be Lonely (Alternative Version) Lyrics

It's quiet here, just me and my thoughts,

In the space where no one calls, and I'm not caught,

I can breathe easy, let my mind roam free,

Sometimes it's nice to be alone, just me.

I don't mind the silence, I don't mind the still,

Just the hum of my own heartbeat, bending to my will,

But as the night falls, and the shadows grow,

There's a part of me that feels the cold.

I want to be alone, I don't want to be lonely,

The space is sweet, but the quiet can own me,

In the empty hours, I start to feel small,

Alone by choice, but not by heart at all.

There's peace in the quiet, there's room to just breathe,

To let go of worries, to laugh, to grieve,

In the morning light, it feels so right,

But in the dark, it's a different fight.

I can sit with myself, sip on my tea,

But sometimes it gets heavy, the weight of just me,

I don't need a crowd, I don't need a sound,

But a little warmth when the sun goes down.

I want to be alone, I don't want to be lonely,

The space is sweet, but the quiet can own me,

In the empty hours, I start to feel small,

Alone by choice, but not by heart at all.

Solitude's a friend, a gentle touch,

But too much of a good thing feels like a crutch,

I crave connection, just a light in the dark,

A voice that echoes, a little spark.

I close my eyes, drift into my dreams,

Where laughter's near and love redeems,

But morning comes, and I wake alone,

And I'm back in the silence, a world of my own.

It's a fine line I walk, between peace and pain,

Between what I cherish and what drives me insane,

I love the quiet, but sometimes I need more,

A knock on my door, a voice I adore.

I want to be alone, I don't want to be lonely,

The space is sweet, but the quiet can own me,

In the empty hours, I start to feel small,

Alone by choice, but not by heart at all.

So here I sit, in this room tonight,

With a heart that's torn between dark and light,

I want to be alone, but maybe, just maybe,

It's even better with somebody beside me.
