I made my excuses and left
Chris Lowe / Neil Tennant
(I'm all alone again, I'm all alone)
I walked into the room
imagine my surprise
you were sitting close to him
staring in each other's eyes
Each of you looked up
but noone said a word
I felt I should apologise
for what I hadn't heard
A silence filled the room
awkward as an elephant
in the crowded court of your love
I was now a supplicant
And clumsy as I felt
at stumbling on this theft
to save further embarassment
I made my excuses and left
So long ago
I felt like such a fool for crying
all that I know
is when you feel inside you're dying
it all begins again defying
your excuses
