Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That's why I
Love being alone
Protecting my energy
[Verse 2]
That's why I
Sink in on my own
Don't you think of saving me
[Verse 3]
Don't call me
I don't wanna speak
I got problems
But I'm not fucking weak
[Verse 4]
I'm so guarded
Heart is like a stone
Protecting what's inna me
[Verse 5]
I hate to be controlled
Think of what you say to me
[Verse 6]
Total silence
Is my therapy
I don't need your sympathy
[Verse 7]
Internal guidance
Is all that I seek
Don't disturb my inner peace
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my only
Ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only
Ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only
Ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only
Ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only
Ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only
Ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only
Ones that care for me solely
[Verse 9]
That's why I
Love being alone
Protecting my energy
[Verse 10]
That's why I
Sink in on my own
Don't you think of saving me
[Verse 11]
Don't call me
I don't wanna speak
I got problems
But I'm not fucking weak
[Verse 12]
I'm so guarded
Heart is like a stone
I hate to be controlled
[Verse 13]
Total silence
Is my therapy
Protecting my energy
