Steve Earle — Lonelier Than This

It doesn't get any lonelier than this I believe my heart will break Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake With every breath, I'm tasting your kiss And it's sweet upon my tongue Until the bitter tears fall one by one It doesn't get any lonelier than this Because I'm on this road alone My heartbeat ringing like a hollow drum I'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets And there's nothing I can do Because it's dark out here and I can't find you It doesn't get any lonelier than this It doesn't get any lonelier than this I'm as blue as blue can be Just an empty place where your love should be I'm sick and tired of walking around like this With my heart outside my skin I'm scared to death we'll never touch again It doesn't get any lonelier than this And there's no place I can go Just the dusty corners that the shadows know Maybe this is as good as it's going to get And I'll always be this way I'll just wander this world calling out your name It doesn't get any lonelier than this
