Why must I love the heartless one who'll never know the harm she's done

Though love is blind I should have known just call me lonesome from now on

I climb the stairs up to my room but no one meets me in my gloom

The silence tells me she is gone just call me lonesome from now on

[ guitar + steel ]

These walls will hide me when I cry and hope that heaven lets me die

What good is life when hope is gone just call me lonesome from now on

I pray my memories at last will fade into the distant past

If I must live and love alone just call me lonesome from now on
