Born to Be Alone
Embracing Solitude: Noah Floersch's Anthem to Self-Discovery
Lyrics
They say everybody's got somebody somewhere they can love
Expressing the common belief that everyone has someone to love somewhere.
But I ain't got nobody, so who believes in all that stuff
The singer feels isolated, questioning the validity of love due to personal loneliness.
Yes I see the happy couples passin', laughin' and I know
Observing happy couples and realizing a lack of such connection, reinforcing the theme of loneliness.
I was born to be alone
Declaring a sense of destiny or fate in being destined to be alone.
I don't blame nobody for the way I'm lonely all the time
Acknowledging personal responsibility for loneliness without blaming others.
But it sure would be nice for once to be on someone's mind
Expressing a desire for someone to think about the singer, emphasizing the yearning for companionship.
Yeah I'd love to talk real late at night with someone on the phone

But I was born to be alone
Reiterating the sense of being destined for solitude and isolation.
Don't need you to cry for me

But if you're alone like me

We could be lonely together tonight

I just think it's funny that we make all this shit up

To give the lonely saps like me a little bit of hope
Commenting on the creation of false hope for lonely individuals.
But I was born to be alone
Reiterating the belief in personal destiny to be alone, despite societal ideals.

Always stuck as a beginner
