Being Alone

Suddenly I felt this loneliness

Inside my room, alone in the darkness

Then suddenly, tears falling down my eyes

I kept asking myself why I need to cry.

 

Being alone is not that easy

Sometimes your mind always wandered and makes you crazy

For so many years, I had been in this empty land of the desert

Earning so much, but never been happy.

 

I had realized that money can't buy everything

I can get all I need, but not the joy of life that has to bring

Again, after I had finished from work, need to settle in my solitary home

Listen to the same sad songs I played, every time I'm alone.
