Only Alone

do i look like a victim
so easily led
was it my hermit ways
that made you forget
i'm not really desperate
i just don't like the phone
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

i try to remember
what made me move on
the things i've forgotten
are already gone
i don't need a memory
to tempt me from home
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

i'd live in the past
but there's only regret
i'd rather stumble along
it's as good as i get
i'm not looking for pity
in this world that i own
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone
