Lyrics
[Chorus]
My shadow's 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
[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
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
[Chorus]
My shadow's (Round and round like a horse on a carousel) only one that walks beside me
My shallow (Will I catch up to love? I could never tell) heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes (Catching up to you is like a fairytale) I wish someone out there will find me
(But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel) 'Till then I walk alone
[Verse 2]
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
On the edge and where I (You're a freak show) walk alone
Read between the lines
What's ... up
And everything's all right
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive (Mr. Houdini you're a freak show) and I walk alone
[Pre-Chorus]
(And it's all fun and games) I walk alone, I walk alone ('Till somebody falls in love)
(But you already bought a ticket) I walk alone, (And there's no turning back now) I walk a-
[Chorus]
My shadow's (Round and round like a horse on a carousel) only one that walks beside me
My shallow (Will I catch up to love? I could never tell) heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes (Catching up to you is like a fairytale) I wish someone out there will find me
(But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel) 'Till then I walk alone
[Bridge]
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
(Riding,) Where the city (Riding,) sleeps
And I'm the only (Ridin,) one and I walk a-
[Chorus]
My shadow's (Round and round like a horse on a carousel) only one that walks beside me
My shallow (Will I catch up to love? I could never tell) heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes (Catching up to you is like a fairytale) I wish someone out there will find me
(But I feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel) 'Till then I walk alone
