Solitaire

Clay Aiken

There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
In his silence

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
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

Another day
A lonely day
So much to say
That goes unspoken
And through the night
His sleepless nights
His eyes are closed
His heart is broken

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
She's coming back again
And keeping to himself
He plays the game
Without her love
Itt always ends the same
While life goes on
Around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
He's playing solitaire

A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying

Solitaire

And by himself
It's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Oh and keeping to himself
He plays the game
Without her love
It always end the same
While life goes on
Around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
