A quiet world, alone
Is the only one I’ve known
Home in the night with a single lamp light
I finally feel alone
My only baby
To see my dark side is gone
He’s flown on
I never signed up to be anybody else
To be anybody else
I never signed on for anybody else
To save me from myself
When the crowd surrounds
And drowns around my sanity
I can feel myself slowly lose control
With the ease of my mind
I am sure at heart
Although, I’m slow to speak
It’s not only the social to succeed
Leave me be
I never signed up to be anybody else
To be anybody else
I never signed on for anybody else
To save me from myself
I’m too tired to sleep
Let’s save it for another night
This one’s flown on
