[Verse 1]

I hurt myself again today

I'm feelin' a little numb

I could use the pain

I always find myself in this little bind

It's been a few weeks since you been around

So here I sit with my hands strapped down

Patiently awaiting those secret games

I used to play alone


[Chorus]

So here I sit all tied up

All alone with all my thoughts

I do not mind if this goes on


[Verse 2]

I think about what I'll say to you

When you finally decide to come my way

Sitting around all painted like a fool (Like a fool)

And I don't know how I got this way

And I don't know how much more I wanna take

I know you'll shoot me down and bury me before I get to high


[Chorus]

So here I sit all tied up

All alone with all my thoughts

When will I learn to walk away?

From those things I do

To make me feel the way I feel

When I'm with you

Tonight it's me, myself, and I

Solitaire


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

All this pain I seem to put myself through

All the ways I find to submit to you

Cat o' nine tails is getting old (Getting old)

And I don't know how I got this way

And I don't know how much more I wanna take

A million ways to change myself and

A million nights to try


[Chorus]

So here I sit all tied up

All alone with all my thoughts

When will I learn to walk away?

From those things I do

To make me feel the way I feel

When I'm with you

Tonight it's me, myself, and I


[Bridge]

When you come around

Do those things you do to me

I hate this game of solitaire


[Outro]
