There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that cared, that went unchecked And slowly died within his silence Now solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes me, takes me down By myself, it's easy to pretend I'll never love again And deep into myself, I play the game Without your 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, each sleepless night The eyes are closed, the heart is broken Now solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes me, takes me down I find myself, it's easy to pretend You're coming back again And deep into myself, I play the game Without your love, it always ends the same While life goes on around me everywhere I'm playing solitaire And solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes me, takes me down While life goes on around me everywhere I'm playing solitaire
