Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
Until it died within his silence
[Verse 2]
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
[Verse 3]
And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without her love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
[Verse 4]
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man
Who would command the hand he's playing
[Verse 5]
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
[Verse 6]
And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without her love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
[Verse 7]
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
