The song lyrics are shown below: Alone- Music and Lyrics by Babbles (2011)
You said you know everything about me—
The things I like;
The things I dislike.
You pretend to know me a lot.
In fact, what do you know?
I lost my way in a crowded street.
You said you will come and find me,
But you never keep your promise baby.
Is this all a dream? I am so confused
I just want to scream out loudly.
Difficulties keep coming in streams.
Although no one stays with me,
I still wanna pursue my dream.
I will make my own way
Until we meet again one day.
The way that I’m looking for—
I still don’t know what it will be.
I will fight forever and ever.
You said you know everything about me—
The things I do;
The things I won’t do
You pretend to know me a lot.
In fact, what do you know?
I lost my way in a crowded street.
You said you will come and find me,
But you never keep your promise baby.
It is not a dream, undoubtedly.
I just want to scream out loudly.
Difficulties keep coming in streams.
Although no one stays with me,
I still wanna pursue my dream.
I will make my own way
Until we meet again one day.
The way that I’m looking for—
I still don’t know what it will be.
I will fight forever and ever.
Time goes by;
We need to say goodbye.
Don’t be surpised;
Don’t ask me why.
But what I heard is someone sigh.
I will be fine.
Although no one stays with me,
I still wanna pursue my dream.
I will make my own way
Until we meet again one day
The way that I’m looking for—
I still don’t know what it will be.
I will fight forever and ever.
