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 OUGHTA 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
NOTHING SHORT
OF DYING THAT'S WORSE
THAN BEING LEFT ALONE
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HAVE BEEN REPLACED
BY NIGHTS OF HELL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
NOTHING SHORT
OF DYING THAT'S WORSE
THAN BEING LEFT ALONE
THERE AIN'T NOTHING
SHORT OF DYING
THAT'S WORSE THAN
BEING LEFT ALONE
