Steve Earle - Lonelier Than This lyrics

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
