"Solitaire" lyrics

Solitaire

There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference

A heart that cared
That went unchained
And slowly died
Within his silence

Now solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes me
Takes me down
And by myself, it's easy to pretend
I'll never love again

And keeping to myself I play the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire

Another day
A lonely day
So much to say
That goes unspoken
And through the night
His sleepless nights
His eyes are closed
His heart is broken

Now solitaire is the only game in town
And every road that takes me takes me down
And by myself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again

And keeping to myself I play the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire

Solitaire is the only game in town
Every road that takes me takes me down
