I'm impressed by the wrong kinds of people
Although I never think that they know
And all the lives that I lead belong to others
And the one that is mine
I can't say that I know
And I long to be won by the others
Who seem so far and further than me
And oh, if wishes were true
But if you wouldn't mind
I'd rather be alone
I've been down then for too long forgotten
On occasion I'll stay there for days
And I act like a clown
And I tear myself down
Just for someone to fill me with praise
And I long to be loved by the others
And I long to be taken for me
But oh, if wishes were true
But if you wouldn't mind
I'd rather be alone
Alone, alone, alone
I'm inspired by the wrong inspiration
Even times when the light flickered low
I'd relight it again
And since you let me in
I'm not hurtin' for somewhere to go
Still I long to be loved by the others
But I long to be loved just by me
But oh, no wishes are true
So if you wouldn't mind
I'd rather be alone
And if you wouldn't mind
I'd rather be alone.
