Alone not lonely

I like the silence of my room
A cup of tea, a fading Moon
Books and thoughts, my favorite friends
No need for crowds that just pretend

But some nights, when the world is still
A whisper creeps, against my will
It says: You're strong, but something's missing
A heart to hear, a soul for listening

I like being alone
But I don't want to feel lonely
I've built my walls up high
But they crumble slowly
Wish I could trust, wish I could fall
But I've seen love turn cold to all
So I stay in my zone
Alone, but not lonely

People lie with sugar smiles
They promise peace, then leave you trials
I've watched too many stories break
Too many hearts too much to take

But I still dream of someone true
Who sees my storm and walks on through
Who doesn't try to fix or change me
But understands and still would stay

I like being alone
But I don't want to feel lonely
I've built my walls up high
But they crumble slowly
Wish I could trust, wish I could fall
But I've seen love turn cold to all
So I stay in my zone
Alone, but not lonely

Maybe someday, when I'm not afraid
I'll open the door that I once barricaded
Till then, I write songs in the dark
Hoping someone might hear my heart

I like being alone
But I don't want to feel lonely
Not asking for forever
Just someone to hold me
Wish I could trust, wish I could fall
But I've seen love ruin it all
So I sing on my own
Alone, but not lonely
