    Lyrics
    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

    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk a


    My shadow's the 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
    Til then I walk alone

    I'm walking down the line
    That divides me somewhere in my mind
    On the borderline of the edge
    And where I walk alone
    Read between the lines of what's
    Fucked up and everything's alright
    Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
    And I walk alone

    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk alone
    I walk a

    My shadow's the 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
    Til then I walk alone

    I walk alone
    I walk a

    I walk this empty street
    On the boulevard of broken dreams
    Where the city sleeps
    And I'm the only one and I walk a

    My shadow's the 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
    Til then I walk alone
