All alone, on my own
Since I walked out on you
I walked out on me
now it's gone
And you, what to do
There's so much time and
so many nights to get through
Oh why do we play
and why do we lose,
It's a dangerous life
we live, we two.
We are fools, we make all these rules
We make it so hard to find love
to feel free, to be
fresh outta school
And now, what of romance?
Do we know that life is sweeter
when we're taking a chance?
So why do we run
and why do we cry?
It's crazy life we live
you and I
Carousels and wishing wells
were the things we loved
To fly away in a big balloon
was what she talked of, oh
Alone, out on my own
I just wander the streets
and stare at the
places we've known
And now, what of myself?
Can I go on pretending
a love for somebody else?
Oh why do we play
and why do we lose?
It's a dangerous life
we live, we two
Carousels and wishing wells
were the things we loved
Why did we play?
Why did we stay alone, we two?
To fly away in a big balloon
was what she talked of
Why did we love and leave
the memory of we two?
Now she is gone
I'm left to carry on
