BLUES TRAVELER - ALONE Lyrics

I said "I love you"She began to cryShe said she needed a friendI said "I'll try"Soon we'd say nothingSomehow I never wondered whyYou see, she left meShe left meI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneI'd loved her alwaysShe didn't knowI tried patienceLet a friendship growI tried to keep herThat's what made her goYou see, she left meShe left meI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneBeauty and the beastWas how it seemed to beA love like hersAin't meant for guys like meSome call me crazySome politely call me freeBut either way you seeYou see, she left meShe left meI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm trying to forget you but it just won't workThink I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserkI love you with a passion that you just don't knowAnd I kinda wish right now that I was telling you soI could rant, or rave, or play some little gameBut when I look into your eyes, it all seems the sameThat you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true factNow I don't care how I look and don't care how I act'Cause you set me freeI'm a man among menBut when I think of what I missed it starts all againNow alone in the darkness of each new dayMy heart is on its ownI wanna rip it from my chest and throw it awayWatch this bassman take me homeA low branchTouching the waterFeels the currents takeA mightyRiver bends herBut she won't breakNo she won'tNo she won't breakI said a candle'sFlame she dancesWhen a suddenTempest blowsShe dwindles and dimsAgainst the cold, cold windAnd then she growsAnd then she glowsI said she growsI may never understand herHer secret is not to knowNothing for me to do with or for or toBut I just love to watch her growI said I love to watch her growI guess some dayLove will soon be hereAnd maybe thenI'll see things more clearI guess I got excitedCause it felt so nearAndYou see, she left meShe left meI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneBut I know I'd give my lifeJust to hold her nowAnd who knowsI might see her aroundHopes can always go upTears can only come downYou see, she left meShe left meI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm aloneI'm alone
