Even in a moment alone
It's not my own
There's this nagging voice
Always coming asking me to do something
Am I given a choice?
I don't know what's right
I don't know what's wrong
I just need a moment alone
Leave me alone
I don't want to talk.
I want to sit in silence
And leave my mouth shut
I want to read a book
I want to snuggle in a crook
I want peace and solace
I want a moment of my own
It seems impossible to achieve
These last few days.
Although fun and exciting
They left me drained
Then there's another request
"Can we talk?"
I just finished revising
I just finished lunch
I just finished tidying
Guess what? I said yes.
But I want a moment for my own,
I want a moment alone
Haven't had one in a while
There's always someone by my side
Or something on my mind
I want to be allowed to forget,
To erase everything on my mind,
Cause I want to be able to find
Solace in my own silhouette
But there's always something on my mind
So it's impossible to find
A moment alone with my shadow behind
My feet that seems to speak
For themselves and for me
As they take me everywhere I don't want to be.
But I still said yes,
Because I value our friendship
Because it'd nag me into the night
And weigh heavily on my behind
I'd never sit upright again
If the desperation that I heard
Was of urgency
It's a tough bargain;
It could've been just my mind
Contouring up senseless scenarios
To make me feel less lonely
Am I lonely? I don't think so
Otherwise, why would I want to be alone?
I just need a moment alone
I just want a moment alone
I want to be able to drone
out and about at home
on my own...
Just a moment alone.
