Solitude Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

[Bridge]
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
Nobody could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know, I know that I'll soon go mad

[Verse 2]
In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear God above
Send me back my love

[Bridge]
I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
No one could be so sad
Gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

[Outro]
In my solitude
In my solitude I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send me back my love
(Send back my love)

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 [?]
