One Man Solitaire

 
Do you know my name?
Do you know my face?
Do you hide them in your secret place?
With a thousand dreams. 
That never could come true.
That's where I keep my memories of you.

 
I've spent so many years alone.
My heart has all but turned to stone.
And crushed the love inside to deep despair.
Destination, One Man Solitaire.

 
Two for love.
Two for pain.
But only one to play the game.
Deal me in, my long and faithful friend.
One Man Solitaire, I'm home again.

 
I had to make a choice.
Or go insane.
Feel nothing or eternal pain.
My soul already shred.
And laid to bare.
Deal me in, One Man Solitaire.

 
Do you know my name?
Do you know my face?
Your memories are just a trace.
Stripped away with all I used to care.
Now just the cold remains.
One Man Solitaire.
