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

heart that cared
That went unshared
And slowly died
Within his silence

Now solitare's the only game in town
And every road it 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 your love it always ends the same
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire

Another day,
lonely day
So much to say
That goes unspoken

And through the night,
sleepless night,
The eyes are closed,
The heart is broken

Now solitare's the only game in town
And every road it takes me, takes me down
And by myself it's easy to pretend
 [bad word] back again

And keeping 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

Solitare's the only game in town
And every road it takes me, takes me down
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire
