i suppose i’ll always be alone

It burns my eyes to see another flint and bone gray sky
Through raindrops carving winding trails on the window of the train
It hurts my heart to heed the darting waiter's doubting eye
"are you sure, dear sir, you'll wait for her, or will you be dining alone again?"

I've been flaked on
Betrayed, conned
Had the brakes put on
Over filet mignon
Still I foot the bill after they've flown
I suppose I'll always be alone

I've been turned down
Slapped around
Run aground
Circus clowned
The wedding bells're indefinitely postponed
I suppose I'll always be alone

So many times kneeling down on one knee
I've proposed with my heart open wide
If at first her answer's yes, what comes next you can guess
Always a bridegroom, never a bride!

So I'll drink my fill
Pay the bill
Scour louisville
For another kill
See, I prefer the fetch to bringing home the bone
I suppose I'll always be alone
