Once I told you without feeling   When you came to me in sorrow   There's a truth that life's revealing   We all have to be alone      You only wanted someone to hold you   Tell you she'd be there tomorrow   But instead I only told you   We all have to be alone      Then I was amazed to see   How quickly you agreed with me   If that's the way it has to be   There's nothing left to say   No reason left to stay   Besides I've got a lot of better things to do today      So my world grew so much colder   With little love to lend or borrow   And I found out as I grew older   We all have to be alone
