Lyrics
[Chorus Hook]
Stop worrying about me.
If I’m spending it alone—
It’s not a tragedy.
Solitude ain’t sadness, it’s where I find my own.
I set my boundaries, and I finally feel free.
Stop worrying about me if I’m spending it alone.
[Verse 1]
Stop worrying about me
If I say my plans involve time alone.
You tilt your head like I confessed a sin,
That same tired tone.
Some days I’m up in Sedona red,
Breathing in the desert sky.
Or hiking the trails at Superstition,
Letting the world pass me by.
[Chorus Hook]
Stop worrying about me.
If I’m spending it alone—
It’s not a tragedy.
Solitude ain’t sadness, it’s where I find my own.
I set my boundaries, and I finally feel free.
Stop worrying about me if I’m spending it alone.
[Verse 2]
I’ve stood at the edge of the Canyon,
Watched forever rolling wide.
Coffee with Daisy at a corner café,
Camelback rising outside.
I don’t need your envy, don’t need your plans,
Some things bloom best in the unknown.
Don’t ask me “what’s new,” don’t force a mask—
This desert feels like home.
[Chorus]
Stop worrying about me.
If I’m spending it alone—
It’s not a tragedy.
Solitude ain’t sadness, it’s where I find my own.
I set my boundaries, and I finally feel free.
Stop worrying about me if I’m spending it alone.
[Bridge]
I’ve seen jealousy wear a friendly mask,
So I keep my work where the quiet lasts.
The world don’t need to know my every plan,
I know who I am.
[Final Chorus – lifted]
Stop worrying about me.
If I’m spending it alone—
It’s not a tragedy.
From Tucson nights to Sedona red,
I find my peace where the wild has led.
I set my boundaries, and I finally feel free.
Stop worrying about me if I’m spending it alone.
[Outro – soft, with harmonies]
Ooh… it’s not a tragedy.
Ooh… it’s where I find my wings.
Ooh… I finally feel free.
Stop worrying about me if I’m spending it alone.
