Lyrics

[Intro]
As for this song
I'll set the mood
There's nothing wrong
Prefer solitude
Alone to think
Of what, I don't know
Deeper I sink
Further I'll go
[Verse 1]
Nothing to fear
No need to hide
I'm already there
Came in from outside
Safe in my nest
My home, sweet home
No invited guests
I just love to be alone
[Chorus]
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
I just want to be alone
[Verse 2]
It's better this way
No one will get hurt
If you stay away
I won't lose my shirt
If I've become
Defensive
I'm not the one
You're livin' with
[Chorus]
Leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
I just want to be alone
[Chorus]
Leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
I just want to be alone
Leave me alone
[Bridge]
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be alone
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I just want to be alone
[Verse 3]
Don't feel sorry
It's not your concern
Only the lonely
Are ones who get burned
Safe in my nest
My home, sweet home
No invited guests
I just want, I just want, I just wanna be alone
[Chorus]
I wish you would leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I wish you would leave me alone
I wish you would leave me
I just want to be alone
