Be Alone Lyrics English Translation by Dj Kanji | Swee
BANNY BUGS describes a tear-stained pillow and a fire inside. The line ‘Baby, I need to be alone sometimes’ states the desire for space. These physical details ground the song’s emotional conflict.
Don’t know where I wanna goDon’t know where I want to go.
But I’m far away from homeBut I’m far away from home.
