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 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 pa**ion 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 'Cause 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 want to rip it from my chest and throw it away Watch this ba**man take me home A low branch Touching the water Feels the currents take A mighty River bends her But she won't break No she won't No she won't break I said a candle's Flame she dances When a sudden Tempest blows She dwindles and dims Against the cold, cold wind And then she grows And then she glows I said she grows I may never understand her Her secret is not to know Nothing for me to do with or for or to But I just love to watch her grow I said I love to watch her grow 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
