When I'm with somebody else, I feel so alone
When I'm all by myself, I'm comfortable in my zone
Yet sometimes, in a fleeting, sudden blink of an eye
I want to hear a voice, and wonder why
It's not that I'm trying to act so tough
Just can't show my weakness, it's rough enough
And that kind of self inside of me
Makes me dislike it, as you can see
Don’t look back, I’m moving on!
I choose to be alone, my favorite dawn!
So leave me be, don't worry about my way
Yet seeing someone isolated makes me want to stay
I cannot look away, I cannot let it go
Is this just my selfish heart, I want to know?
I was saved by the smile of someone who cared
But that person is gone, and the memories shared
The words they left behind, like an echoing song
Are still ringing deep in my heart all along
It's not that I'm wishing to be so strong
Just want to embrace my fragile soul where I belong
And that kind of self inside of me
Makes me feel proud, as you can see
Don’t look back, I’m moving on!
I choose to be alone, my favorite dawn!
So leave me be, don't worry about my way
Even this starry sky that shines today
Belongs to me alone, a universe so wide
Is this my own selfishness I keep inside?
Loneliness and isolation are not the same
Very few people even know the game
That's why I'm walking down this path ahead
Embracing my solitude instead!
Don’t look back, I’m moving on!
I choose to be alone, my favorite dawn!
So leave me be, don't worry about my way
Yet seeing someone isolated ruins the day
I still... cannot turn my eyes away from sight
Even if I just watch quietly through the night
