We're in the same city walls
I can't move past these doors
To see what I'm hoping to find.
Hear 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.
You 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.
And to my disbelief,
You never thought about me,
Now I'm alone in this city tonight.
But I've learned my lesson this time around,
I won't cry this time around.
You 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.
You won't be my last time around
Alone in this city tonight.
I'm alone in this city tonight.
I'm alone in this city for life
