Verse One
I was a fool for my chosen career
You know my job never left my mind
I gave it more than one hundred per cent
That?s why my baby left me behind
I ran my life like running a race
I wanted her to cheer me on
I took my eyes off the finish line
To find she was gone

Chorus
She was lonely by my side
Lonely by my side
I didn?t see the signs, I was preoccupied
She was lonely by my side
Now look at me I?m lonely by myself

Verse Two
She tried to tell me how she felt
To be left out in the cold
I didn?t wanna hear it then
But I can?t say I wasn?t told

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
They tell me she?s doing better than all right
Her name is up in neon lights
She?s not missing me tonight

Verse Three
I guess I must have had a soul to search
Because searching?s what I?ve done
I was looking for somebody to blame
But I?m the one
And if I ever have a time machine
I?m going back to yesterday
And I will never make her sad again
And you will never hear me say

Repeat Chorus
