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
