I felt alone
  I put on my new shoes and hit the town
  I still felt alone
  I’m convinced everyone’s built to be put down
  
  I had to say (I had to say)
  What I wanted to say (what I wanted to say)
  I had to say (what I wanted to say)
  Where are you going to stay?
  
  I felt alone
  Independence day comes when you’re down
  Still felt alone
  Ten times I thought I’d almost found you
  
  Sometimes simple chords are the best
  The simple approach is the best
  If it makes more sense than any other
  It makes more sense than any other
  
  I felt alone
  A failed Blake knocked me to the ground
  I still felt alone
  My attempts at chivalry fell without a sound
  I felt alone
  So put on your new shoes and leave this town
  Still felt alone
  I’m convinced, everyone’s built to be put down
  
  The simple chords are the best
  Sometimes the simple approach is the best
  If it makes more sense than any other
  It makes more sense than any other
