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 passion 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
  Cuz 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 wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away
  Watch this bassman take me home
    Said a low branch touching the water
  Feels the currents take
  Said a mighty river bends her
  But ohĄK
  But she won't break
  Ain't gonna break anytime soon
  Said a candle's flame she dances
  A sudden tempest blows
  She dwindles and dims against the cold, cold winds
  And ohĄK
  And then she grows, and then she grows
  I may never understand her
  Her secret is not to know
  Nothing for me to do with a
  But I just love to watch her go
  Said I love to watch her go
    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
  I'm alone
  I'm alone
  I'm alone
  Hey...
  You see she left me
