Steve Earle - Lonlier Than This Lyrics

It don't get any lonelier than this
I believe my heart'll break
Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake
With every breath I'm tasting your kiss
And it's upon my tongue
Until the bitter tears fall one by one

It don't get any lonelier than this
'Cause I'm on this road alone
My heartbeat ringin' like a hollow drum
I'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets
And there's nothing I can do
'Cause it's dark out here and I can't find you
It don't get any lonelier than this

It don't get any lonelier than this
I'm as blue as blue can be
Just and empty place where your love should be
I'm sick and tired of walking around like this
With my heart outside my skin
Scared to death we'll never touch again
It don't get any lonelier than this
And there's no place I can go
Just the dusty coners that the shadows know
Maybe this is as good as it's gonna get
And I'll always be this way
I'll just wander this world callin' out your name
It don't get any lonelier than this
