I Want To Be Alone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know there are times when I don't need you
But you seem to think it means
I don't love you - but I do
But sometimes I want to be alone
Somewhere on my own
I don't know why it is but I sometimes feel
That I have to get away
Yet I know I love you
But sometimes I have to be alone
Somewhere on my own
Don't make me stay to walk aimlessly
Hand in hand - just today set me free
Let me be alone
Tomorrow I may find that I can't go through
Even one more lonely hour
Without you - yet it's true
That sometimes I have to be alone
Somewhere on my own
Let me be alone
