There was a man
a lonely man 
who lost his love through his indifference
a heart that cared
that went unshared 
until it died within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
and every road that takes him takes him down 
while life goes on around him everywhere
he's playing solitaire 
And keeping to himself he plays the game 
without her love, it always ends the same
and by himself it's easy to pretend 
he'll never love again 

A little hope goes up in smoke
just how it goes, goes without saying
There was a man, a lonely man who would command
the hand he's playing
