[Verse 1]
Alone
Only wanted to be alone
Never felt very comfortable
Never felt very much at home
With other people
[Chorus 1]
Every tie you make you sever
Somehow it makes you feel better
Your sea of friends becomes a desert
All so you could be alone
[Verse 2]
Alone
In a crowded club she hides
It's only painful when she smiles
China doll up upon the shelf
She can't help it
[Chorus 2]
Every tie you make you sever
Somehow it makes you feel better
Your sea of friends becomes a desert
All so you could be alone
[Bridge]
And you want it, and you hide it
Only wanted to be alone
And you want to, and you need to
Only wanted to be
[Solo]
[Outro]
And you want it, and you hide it
Only wanted to be alone
And you want to, and you need to
Only wanted to be alone...
