[Verse 1]
Wish I liked the cold a little more
So I didn't need you at night
Wish I liked singin' on my own
So I didn't need you to harmonize
It's so heavy
That I can't look inside
Not by myself
Afraid that I'll find that
I'm runnin'
From the feelings I hide
Drown them in silence

[Pre-Chorus]
Distractions to fill the day
Mentally I fade away
(Fade away)
When I go home and I sleep at night
Know that I ain't livin' right
(Livin' right)

[Chorus]
All alone
I need to be myself, nobody else
On my own
Gotta stop lyin' to myself, I ask myself
Why do I
Focus on you instead, knowin' the pain I feel?
All alone (All alone)
You wouldn't understand, gotta get out of here
By myself
By myself
[Verse 2]
Wanna call you back but I couldn't do that
Love is just another high, I know it won't last
Plus I'm gettin' older
Gotta take control 'cause
Life seems like it's movin' fast
I'm not on track, yeah, yeah
Rather feel free and alive
I'm choosin' peace every time
I'll end up right where I'm supposed to
I could tell myself, "I told you"

[Pre-Chorus]
Distractions (Distractions) to fill the day (Fill the day)
Mentally I fade away
(Fade away)
When I go home (Go home) and I sleep at night (Sleep at night)
Know that I'm livin' right
(Livin' right)

[Chorus]
All alone (All alone)
I need to be myself, nobody else
On my own (On my own)
Gotta stop lyin' to myself, I ask myself
Why do I (Why do I)
Focus on you instead, knowin' the pain I feel?
All alone (All alone)
You wouldn't understand, gotta get out of here
By myself (Woah, yeah, yeah)
By myself (Oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
By myself (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Outro]
Oh, ooh-oh
By myself
Ooh-woah, oh
By myself
Oh-woah, oh-oh
By myself (By myself)
Mm-hmm, by myself
