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.
