[Verse 1]
It must've been hard to deal with the pain inside you
It never could find a way to escape, I wish I knew
Why you couldn't see the beautiful things
And why the world was so unfair
You were playing solitaire, hmm
[Verse 2]
Every time we laughed, it made me adore you
I used to think we'd change this earth, but from your view
Life was pushing you around, you started to drown
It seemed that no one cared, you were playing solitaire
[Bridge]
I cry when I think of what I should've told you
I've been aching 'cause I know we needed you
Maybe you found peace in a different place
Although you're gone, I won't forget your face
[Verse 3]
But you couldn't see the beautiful things
'Cause the world was treating you unfair, oh
How was I so unaware?
You were playing solitaire
Oh, hmm
