There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that cared, that went unshamed And slowly died within his silence Now solitude's 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 even to 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 solitude's the only game in town And every road that takes me, takes me down And by myself it's easy to pretend You're coming back again And even to myself I play the game Without your love it always ends the same While life goes on around me everywhere I'm playing solitaire Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes me, takes me down And by myself I play the game Without your love it always ends the same *
