Description: Alone was originally on my 2022 album, FORWARD, and although I still have fuzzy feelings about the original version, it was fun to put a new spin on the track through working with Jim Wirt. It's a bop for all of my fellow introverts, hope you dig it. Thanks for your support. <3

lyrics

Whenever I'm alone I get this feeling, it's happening once again
I'm at half a glass without you, drowning in a whirlpool on the shallow end

But whenever you're around I am a fever, a hot flush in your face
The vermin in your garden, overgrown yet trying to pick up the pace

So I'd rather be alone

We're told to behave when there are borders and I'm afraid of heights
The walls you scale are frightening, tall and overwhelming,

They stand to remind how I just can't be myself in this atmosphere, it's much too thick
I just keep on choking instead of only breathing and I'm over it

A-L-O-N-E
All would be fine if you'd just leave me
A-L-O-N-E
All would be find if you'd just please leave me alone

I get this feeling, it's happening once again
And how dare you remind me, living in fond memories
Pretending we're still friends

Cause whenever I'm with you, I yearn for answers
Neat, wrapped in a bow
A simple explanation to expel frustration that you'll never know
Cause I'd rather be alone
