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'm alone

I'm alone

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

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

Beauty and the beast

Was how it seemed to be

A love like hers

Ain't meant for guys like me

Some call me crazy

Some politely call me free

But either way you see

You see, she left me

She left me

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work

Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk

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

That 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

Cuz 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

I'm alone

I'm alone

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

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

I'm alone

Hey...

You see she left me
