Nothing Short of Dying

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 wonderin' how I'm doin' Well, I think she oughta know That I find myself prayin' More than I ever did before And I find my heart is breakin' Each time her memory slams the door And I find myself cryin' (Oh) And tryin' to hold on 'Cause there ain't nothin' short of dyin' That's worse than bein' left alone I thought I'd be just fine without her I'd be happy, a free man But the hurt inside of lonesome Is what I didn't understand And the lessons that I'm learnin' Lord, I'm learnin' awful way 'Cause nights I used to spend in Heaven Have been replaced by nights of hell And I find myself prayin' More than I ever did before And I find my heart is breakin' Each time her memory slams the door And I find myself cryin' Oh and tryin' to hold on 'Cause there ain't nothin' short of dyin' That's worse than bein' left alone There ain't nothin' short of dyin' That's worse than bein' left alone
