"Even if you are not alone, if the one you want to be with is away, you will still feel lonely."

- Freya, Chobits


Lonely
By Chen Wei Heng

Even if I am not alone,
my heart whispers to me "I'm lonely."
He tries to come out and reach my phone,
so he can dial the name ...

My friends, my family surround my space.
But my heart don't feel warm if I don't see your face.
My heart is sitting alone on a bench in the city.
Humming a sad song called "Lonely".

I can wonder through the crowded streets,
But my heart wonders if we could meet.
Even if we do, just meters apart,
Our hearts are further apart than the stars.

Please give me a chance, let me get to the point,
I'll make it simple, I just want to be with you.
But our hearts are the heads and tails of a coin,
If I am the one who gets it, there's nothing for you.

I'll never want that to happen, do I?
I'd rather you'd be happy even if I have to die.
Nope, don't even think about it, no I won't cry.
Even if I do, those tears of happiness are just mine.

Because I'm happy that you won't be lonely.
Because you have found the someone just for you.
Even if I will end up lonely for eternity,
At least you won't suffer like me too.

I'd tell my heart to keep quiet tonight,
And stop him from crying out for you.
You would agree what I do is right,
Because it makes things easier for you.

No, I don't mind, I'm just a lonely guy.
I will choose to accept my fate.
Even if destiny says you will end up as mine,
I will change it to see a smile on your face.

So even as I walk alone in this city,
Past happier pairs of souls than me.
I cannot pretend to cry and say I'm lonely,
Because you're with me in my heart, baby.

Yeah, you can say that you are miles away,
And our hearts are a universe apart.
But as long as I think of you this way,
Loneliness will never be a part of my heart.

But no, thinking of you hurts me more.
I had to smash my phone to stop my call.
I just fucking hate to be lonely.
And I was hoping that you will see.

But no, you will never know how I feel.
My heart hurts like its been piereced with steel.
I want to shut down forever, for real.
Because I know that I can never heal.

So I sit here tonight, looking at the world go past.
While they enjoy their smiles, I will have my last.
Because even if I'm alone, I will still feel lonely,
Because I want to be with you and you're away.
My heart is sad while yours is happy,
So at least you have a happy Valentine's Day.
