I SHOULD'VE

TOLD HER MORE

I LOVED HER

I SHOULD'VE SPENT

MORE TIME AT HOME

BUT SHOULD HAVES

REALLY AREN'T

IMPORTANT

SINCE THE FACT IS

NOW SHE'S GONE

I WISH I'D

LISTENED TO MY

CONSCIENCE

WHEN IT SAID

DON'T LET HER GO

AND IF SHE'S

WONDERING

HOW I'M DOING

WELL I THINK SHE

OUGHT TO KNOW

THAT I FIND

MYSELF PRAYING

MORE THAN I EVER

DID BEFORE

AND I FIND MY HEART

IS BREAKING

EACH TIME

HER MEMORY

SLAMS THE DOOR

AND I FIND

MYSELF CRYING

AND TRYING

TO HOLD ON

'CAUSE THERE AIN'T

NOTHIN'

SHORT OF DYING

THAT'S WORSE

THAN BEING

LEFT ALONE

4 BAR

BREAK

I THOUGHT I'D BE

JUST FINE

WITHOUT HER

I'D BE HAPPY

A FREE MAN

BUT THE

HURTIN' SIDE

OF LONESOME

IS WHAT I DIDN'T

UNDERSTAND

AND THE LESSONS

THAT I'M LEARNING

LORD I'M LEARNIN'

AWFUL WELL

'CAUSE NIGHTS I USED

TO SPEND IN HEAVEN

HAVE BEEN REPLACED

BY NIGHTS OF HELL

AND I FIND

MYSELF PRAYING

MORE THAN I

EVER DID BEFORE

AND I FIND MY HEART

IS BREAKING

EACH TIME

HER MEMORY

SLAMS THE DOOR

AND I FIND

MYSELF CRYING

OH AND TRYING

TO HOLD ON

'CAUSE THERE AIN'T

NOTHIN'

SHORT OF DYING

THAT'S WORSE

THAN BEING

LEFT ALONE

THERE AIN'T

NOTHING

SHORT OF DYING

THAT'S WORSE

THAN BEING

LEFT ALONE
