[verse 1] Tonight I’m turning off my phone No calls to interrupt the state I’m in I am by myself but not alone Sometimes it’s all I need A little me time, to cut the world out It’s not isolation My nervous-system needs regulation I am complicated Designated It’s a state of mind I crave from time to time Stop coming at me like I am committing a crime I am okay don’t you worry I really need this self-journey [bridge] Turn the lights down low, turn up the music Tonight I’m feeling myself slow-dancing with myself Doing this on my own, this mood isn’t chronic Self-love at it’s best, this is exactly what I need Later I’ll be your friend but for now this is the vibe I release I am at ease Because there ain’t no one to tell me what to do I am free And to be where I’m at is all I wanna do It’s me it’s not you [chorus] Self-preservation To be alone sometimes is in my nature I am a social butterfly most of the time But when my battery’s on low Just leave me alone I’m okay, don’t worry about me I am exactly where I’m supposed to be Self-preservation To be alone sometimes is in my nature I trust the process It’s up to me to assess Let me grow in my self-esteem You know that I haven’t been My best friend lately So this is highly greatly [verse 2] I know it’s been a while now since we spoke But it’s not on purpose, this is no joke But I have never really been good at this To be my friend means you have to understand I dismiss I am complicated I’m getting to know myself and it’s motivated Me to a state of mind that I’ve been yearning for Sorry that it has passed us by I promise I call you tomorrow but tonight I’m here for [chorus] Self-preservation To be alone sometimes is in my nature I am a social butterfly most of the time But when my battery’s on low Just leave me alone I’m okay, don’t worry about me I am exactly where I’m supposed to be Self-preservation To be alone sometimes is in my nature I trust the process It’s up to me to assess Let me grow in my self-esteem You know that I haven’t been My best friend lately So this is highly greatly [stick] For so long I felt like a prisoner in my own skin I weren’t friend with myself and I needed a win Went to therapy just to find more flaws Wondered why I did this to myself, like it was all my fault I felt like I was all alone with these feelings and I could really use a friend But there weren’t nobody who would understand I am complicated Designated A state of mind as if I’m obligated I am very fascinated by this celebrated Self-preservation [bridge] Turn the lights down low, turn up the music Tonight I’m feeling myself slow-dancing with myself Doing this on my own, this mood isn’t chronic Self-love at it’s best, this is exactly what I need Later I’ll be your friend but for now this is the vibe I release I am at ease Because there ain’t no one to tell me what to do I am free And to be where I’m at is all I wanna do It’s me it’s not you [chorus] Self-preservation To be alone sometimes is in my nature I am a social butterfly most of the time But when my battery’s on low Just leave me alone I’m okay, don’t worry about me I am exactly where I’m supposed to be Self-preservation To be alone sometimes is in my nature I trust the process It’s up to me to assess Let me grow in my self-esteem You know that I haven’t been My best friend lately So this is highly greatly [outro] Self-preservation Don’t need your confirmation This has been an observation That’s helped me to a revelation I am complicated Captivated Intimidated
