I'm sick of all the knock-backs,
The devastation and the lies
My shattered dreams embody
Every thing that I dispise
I no longer have the strength,
The courage or the will
As the faster that I run the more
It seems like I'm standing still
So I will put away my dancing shoes
And dismiss this awesome band
From now I walk this road alone
And alone, forever I will stand
In matters of the heart I've always
Tried to fight the good fight
But I've been kicked in the teeth so often
That you know it isn't right
If I ever met the madman who said
That hope springs eternally
I'd tell him a tale to bring him
Begging to his knees
A bachelor's life is certainly
Not what I had planned
But from now I walk this road alone
And alone forever, I will stand
At last I know I'm defeated
As I stare at this empty cup
I've fallen once too often
And I cannot seem to get back up
So feel free to laugh at me
Or point at me and stare
You'll get no reaction here
I simply no longer care
Once I thought I always would
Offer my heart and hand
But from now I walk this road alone
And alone, I ever will stand
