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, and I walk a—

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beatin'

Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then, I walk alone

Post-Chorus

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Verse 2

That divides me somewhere in my mind

On the borderline

Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines

What's fucked up and everything's all right

Check my vital signs

To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone

Pre-Chorus

I walk alone, I walk alone

I walk alone, and I walk a—

Chorus

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beatin'

Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then, I walk alone

Post-Chorus

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah

I walk alone, and I walk a—

On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Chorus

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beatin'

Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me

'Til then, I walk alone
