When you happened by my open eyes could see, 
My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached, 
I was full of life till you walked on by 
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely 
And only alive. 

For a moment my heart began to beat, 
My puppet legs responded to your strings, 
And my shuffling feet started stepping high 

Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely 
And only alive. 

For all the things worth living for 
Left me for someone new 
And all of those things I lost 
I was left condemned to a lonely life 
Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely 
And only alive.
