Solitaire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I thought the world was crazy
Everyone was sad and chasing
Happiness and love and
I was the only one above it

[Verse 2]
Once I thought without a doubt
I had it all figured out
Universe with hands unseen
I was cold as gasoline

[Chorus]
Took too long to see
I was wrong to believe in me only

[Verse 3]
Once my life was a game so unfair
It beat me down and kept me there
Unaware of my naysayin'
Solitaire was all I was playing

[Chorus]
Took too long to see
I was wrong to believe in me only

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
