Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
[Verse 2]
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
[PreChorus]
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
[Chorus]
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then, I walk alone
[Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
[Verse 3]
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge and where I walk alone
[Verse 4]
Read between the lines
What's fucked up, and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
[PreChorus]
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
[Chorus]
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then, I walk alone
[Chorus]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone, I walk a-
[Verse 5]
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk a-
[Chorus]
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then, I walk alone
