By Myself lyrics

The party’s over, the game has ended,

The dreams I dreamed went up in smoke.

They didn’t pan out as intended,

I should know how to take a joke.

I’ll go my way by myself,

This is the end of romance.

I’ll go my way by myself,

Love is only a dance.

I’ll try to apply myself

And teach my heart how to sing.

I’ll go my way by myself

Like a bird on a wing.

I’ll face the unknown,

I’ll build a world of my own,

No one knows better than I myself

I’m by myself alone.

[Interlude]

I’ll go my way by myself,

Here’s where the comedy ends.

I’ll have to deny myself

Love and laughter and friends.

Dark clouds in the sky above

Have put a blot on my fun.

I’ll have to fly high myself

For a place in the sun.

I’ll face the unknown,

I’ll build a world of my own,

No one knows better than I myself

I’m by myself, no one around,

I’m by myself alone.
