Solitaire by 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, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
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 ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire
