I Hate to Eat Alone

[Verse 1] I picked myself up in a downtown bar You know the feelin' was lousy But as I'd come this far Well it's too easy to drink When nobody's home But I hate to eat alone [Verse 2] 'N' frozen dinners don't do much for me When you've got TV on the table 'N' TV on TV All you do is chew your fingers Down to the bone I hate to eat alone [Bridge] Like the actor who's forgotten his words You stumble through the story line Another place another time When you were with me [Verse 3] They say the city's rotten to the core There's no communication With each other anymore But we stopped talkin' to each other A long time before And I hate to eat alone [Interlude] Hear it in my words See it in my eyes Since you went away I wear a cheap disguise Waitin' for the mornin' Waitin' on the light Hopin' for the sunshine Before the night [Verse 4] I didn't tell you that I had to change So you just took it for granted That we'd remain the same I know that nobody's guilty No one's to blame So I end up on my own God I hate to eat alone I hate to eat alone I hate to eat alone I hate to eat alone
