why i m alone

The Bachs

I have this tendency
A tendency to underachieve
But I could really be much better than this

I have a lot of dreams
A lot of dreams I'm bound to achieve
And any day you'll see I'm better than this

I am the most secure person I've ever known
I have an ego befitting of the throne
And yet I am all alone
That's why I'm all alone

I have a lot of dreams
And sometimes they start to suffocate me
Could it be I'll never be anything but this?

My self-esteem is conditional, you see
On becoming this rock star guy I might never really be
Why do I need to live in a fantasy?

I am the most insecure person I've ever known
I so desperately need somebody to call my own
And yet I'm all alone
It's all mine, 'cause I'm all alone

I understand why I'm alone
