(Verse 1)

Open the door and silence is the first to say hello But it’s filled with the scent of candles I chose on my own In this space, I don't answer to a single soul Finally catching my breath, taking back control The messy rug, a single mug left on the stand It’s the blueprint of a life I built with my own hands

(Chorus)

I live alone, I live for me Not a half of someone, but the whole identity They call it lonely, I call it a gift of peace Inside this solitude, I finally find release I’m living my life, just the way I am

(Verse 2)

Dinner for one, plated like a work of art No need to compromise, I’m following my heart The world keeps pushing for a "we" and a "us" But I’m seeing clearly now, without the extra fuss Loose ties and digital vibes, keeping circles small We’re all islands cheering islands, standing tall

(Bridge)

Don’t look at my dark windows and feel any pity This tiny room is my kingdom, my own secret city Learning how to stand without a shoulder to lean on I’m getting stronger with every dusk and every dawn

(Chorus)

I live alone, I live for me Not a half of someone, but the whole identity They call it lonely, I call it a gift of peace Inside this solitude, I finally find release I’m living my life, just the way I am

(Outro)

Tomorrow I’ll wake up to a sun that’s only mine Being my own best friend, and I’m doing just fine Simply me, unapologetically.
