Neil Sedaka
Solitaire
[Verse 1]
There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
And slowly died within his silence

[Chorus]
Now solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes me, takes me down
By myself, it's easy to pretend
I'll never love again

[Post-Chorus]
And deep into myself, I play the game
Without your love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire

[Verse 2]
Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, each sleepless night
The eyes are closed, the heart is broken

[Chorus]
Now solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes me, takes me down
I find myself, it's easy to pretend
You're coming back again
[Post-Chorus]
And deep into myself, I play the game
Without your love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire

[Chorus]
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes me, takes me down
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire
