If I have to be alone Then I should make my mind serene After all you're born alone, you die alone You might as well spend every moment in between alone But if I have to be alone Then it will be on my own terms I can never talk about it, ever show it Even though the world is watching while I squirm alone And your bleeding heart friends say, isn't it sad? Then they go make love While you go insane. insane! It drives you mad! mad! My mind, I love my mind And if no one can feel the same I'm a computer with a name And I've got no one else to blame If I have to be alone And if nobody understands That special creature that is me And if they fail to see the me I see Then no one else knows truly what it means To be alone Maybe once in a lifetime you lose your will Then you can let down your guard But they cower in fear. in fear. It makes you ill! ill! My heart, my burning heart And if no one will quench the flame I'm not obliged to do the same And then they'll have to share the blame Because I have to be alone Because I have to be alone But I don't want to be alone
