It's a problem that I'd like to have
If I could just find out and fill these gaps
And now you see me here, and now you don't
Is this my only hope?
Won't you say you want to dance with me?
Won't you listen to my misery?
You know I'm working here against the clock
C'mon now tick that box
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
Alone and alone and alone and alone
You are
You're all alone
And alone and alone and alone
You are
I come undone
Everytime, everytime it comes
You're all alone
Alone and alone and alone and alone
You are
You're all alone
Now all I think about is "sell sell sell"
I just don't want you with no one else
I've got the script and I know all the lines
Just show me which are mine
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
Alone and alone and alone and alone
You are
You're all alone
And alone and alone and alone
You are
I come undone
Everytime, everytime it comes
You're all alone
And alone and alone and alone
You are
You're all alone
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
If I could just find out and fill these gaps
And now you see me here, and now you don't
Is this my only hope?
Won't you listen to my misery?
You know I'm working here against the clock
C'mon now tick that box
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
You are
You're all alone
And alone and alone and alone
You are
I come undone
Everytime, everytime it comes
You're all alone
Alone and alone and alone and alone
You are
You're all alone
I just don't want you with no one else
I've got the script and I know all the lines
Just show me which are mine
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time
You are
You're all alone
And alone and alone and alone
You are
I come undone
Everytime, everytime it comes
You're all alone
And alone and alone and alone
You are
You're all alone
No one's falling, no one's falling for it this time

I think these lyrics are pretty self-explanatory.
The guy struggles to understand what role he plays in girl's life ("Won't you say you want to dance with me? Won't you listen to my misery?" -- mentioning two entirely different roles).
Words "And now you see me here, and now you don't" don't mean he appears and disappears. I think it relates to phrase "I see you as a...", meaning "I think you are...". Thus, this lyric means "Now you think I'm this [for you, "role" comes up again], now you don't anymore".
"Now all I think about is "sell sell sell" I just don't want you with no one else I've got the script and I know all the lines Just show me which are mine" He knows what he has to do, but uncertainty keeps him from changing (habits, behaviour). "Selling" means leaving something behind.
Also, I think "Alone and alone" means that since that girl treats people like that, she'll be left all alone someday. That's why he sings like it's already happened, this is inevitable.
