Blues Traveler - Alone Lyrics

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 wonder why

Chorus

you see she left me, she left me
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

Chorus

beauty and the beast
was how it seed 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

Chorus

I'm trying to forget you but it just
won't work
I think I'm losing my mind I 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 and 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 an I
don't care how I act
you set me free now 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

Chorus

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

Chorus
