Alone In This City

We’re in the same city walls, but I can’t move past these doors

To see what I’m hoping to find

That you’ve been looking for me, you wouldn’t want me to be

Alone in this city tonight

But I’ve learned my lesson this time around

I won’t cry this time around

It won’t be my last time around

Alone in this city tonight

Well, you told me you’d call so I sat by the phone

My hopes flew impossibly high

But to my disbelief you never thought about me

And I’m alone in this city tonight

But I’ve learned my lesson this time around

I won’t cry this time around

It won’t be my last time around

Alone in this city tonight

Well, it’s not that bad to keep my heart’s pieces and let no one in

If I had done that, but I hoped that maybe you’d love me right back

But you don’t, no, you don’t

And I’m alone in this city tonight

Well I might be jaded, but to me they’re all the same

And, baby, it’s not worth the fight

To hope for that man who might come take my hand

And warm up this city tonight

'Cause I’ve learned my lesson this time around

I won’t cry this time around

It won’t be my last time around

Alone in this city tonight

I’m alone in this city tonight

Alone in this city for life
