Less Lonesome

Findin' faces in the bathroom tiles

Constellations from the water drops on the glass

I never knew that I could feel self-pity

Whiskey don't sit well with me, I guess

Spent the night in conversation

With redundant explanations

Because I know the reasons why it had to end

But I'm so mad about

Learnin' to survive without you bein' around

Liquor clouds my mind until I can't speak a sober word

The thought of you will always burn between my ears

It doesn't get less lonesome around here

Around here

Mom and Dad sure miss your face

And the dog you left still waits for you by the door

Outside, the sun is peekin' through

But I rarely leave my bedroom anymore

Pull my boots up by the straps

God lookin' down on me should laugh

It's been three years and still I'm cryin' out your name

I'm so mad about

Learnin' to survive without you bein' around

Makin' myself thrive because I have no other choice

The break I heard last in your voice made that fact clear

It doesn't get less lonesome around here

Around here

And I know you've moved on to somethin' better

But I'm still lost and I'm still bitter

I don't wanna find out who I am without you

I'm still mad about

Learnin' to survive without you bein' around

For new chapters in my life, and if I've gotta look on the bright side

There is growth, I realize, within these tears

Still, it doesn't get less lonesome around here

Around here

Around here
