All by Myself
Il Divo and Celine Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

When I was young
Back when I was in my youth
I never needed anyone
I never relied on anyone to make me feel complete
And making love was just for fun
I used to see love as something fun and lighthearted
Those days are gone
But those times have now passed
Livin' alone
Nowadays, I live my life solo
I think of all the friends I've known
I do think of my past and cherished friends
But when I dial the telephone, nobody's home
But when I try to reach them, they are nowhere to be found
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
I feel so alone and I don't want to continue living this way
Hard to be sure
It's difficult to be certain
Sometimes I feel so insecure
At times, I also feel unsure of myself
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
And though love seems far away and unclear, it's still the solution
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself

Anymore
I don't want to be alone anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone
I don't want to be alone anymore. I never thought I'd need someone but I do now
