Lyric Alone

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 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.

Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be.
A love like hers
Aint meant for guys like me.
Some call me crazy,
Some politely call me free,
but either way

You see, she left me,
She left me,
I m alone.

I m trying to forget you but it just won t work,
I think I m losing my mind, I think I m going berzerk,

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,

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,

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.

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.
