Alone
|
Music & Lyrics: John Popper
|
|
I said "I love you"
|
She began to cry
|
She said she needed a friend
|
I said "I'll try"
|
Soon we'd say nothing
|
Somehow I never wondered why
|
|
You see, she left me
|
She left me
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
|
I'd loved her always
|
She didn't know
|
I tried patience
|
Let a friendship grow
|
I tried to keep her
|
That's what made her go
|
|
You see, she left me
|
She left me
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
|
Beauty and the beast
|
Was how it seemed to be
|
A love like hers
|
Ain't meant for guys like me
|
Some call me crazy
|
Some politely call me free
|
But either way you see
|
|
You see, she left me
|
She left me
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
|
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work
|
Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk
|
I love you with a passion that you just don't know
|
And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so
|
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game
|
But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same
|
That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact
|
Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act
|
Cuz you set me free
|
I'm a man among men
|
But when I think of what I missed it starts all again
|
|
Now alone in the darkness of each new day
|
My heart is on its own
|
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away
|
Watch this bassman take me home
|
|
I guess some day
|
Love will soon be here
|
And maybe then
|
I'll see things more clear
|
I guess I got excited
|
Cause it felt so near
|
And
|
|
You see, she left me
|
She left me
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
|
But I know I'd give my life
|
Just to hold her now
|
And who knows
|
I might see her around
|
|
Hopes can always go up
|
Tears can only come down
|
|
You see, she left me
|
She left me
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
I'm alone
|
|
