“Alone”

I have nobody to be with me
I have nothing for others to stay with me
I am no one to waste time for
It's better to stay like this, alone.

No one cares
No one misses
No one worries
No one loves me.

All my life, I am alone
Staying at the corner
Watching people come and go,
They are all passing through.

Have no peers,
Have been better,
Have been happy
Instead of being lonely.

If something happens to me
No one's there to comfort me
No one's there to ask me—
If I'm okay...

Day after day,
I have my own world
Where I truly belong
Where I could be— alone...
