I’d rather sleep with the nightmares Than let you lay here and break my heart again Oh, I was born to be lonely It's crystal clear Like a diamond chandelier The crowd wants to see me cry In the mirror With a glass full of tears I toast… I drink to lonely nights Drowning wasted years All by myself Leave my heart on the shelf I drink to raise a toast To the romance in my head Life is a ball I’ll keep dancing alone Alone I’ll pour a drink for my shadow Blow off some smoke then I’ll watch it disappear Just bought a ticket to nowhere Yesterday’s calling but i don’t wanna hear I drink to lonely nights Drowning wasted years All by myself Leave my heart on the shelf I drink to raise a toast To the romance in my head Life is a ball I’ll keep dancing alone Alone Life is a ball I’ll keep dancing alone Alone Ohhh
