Labored breaths and bed sores, sing it to me all day long /
When the aching sound of silence used to be our favorite song /
You and me against the world, you were my man and I your girl /
We had nothing except each other, you were my whole world /
Then the day came and you were up and gone /
And I still call home that house in Nebraska /
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor /
Where the world was empty, save you and I /
Where you came and I laughed, and you left and I cried /
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours /
These dirt roads are empty, the ones we paved ourselves /
Your mama calls me sometimes to see if I'm doing well /
And I'd lie to her and say that I'm doing fine /
When, really, I'd kill myself to hold you one more time /
And it hurts to miss you, but it's worse to know /
That I'm the reason you won't come home /
But I still call home that house in Nebraska /
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor /
(Where I needed you, and I need you still) /
Where the world was empty, save you and I /
Where you came and I laughed, and you left and I cried /
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours /
(So I died there under you every night, all night) /
You know, I still wait at the edge of town /
Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around /
I cry every day and the bottles make it worse /
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt /
And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met /
I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess /
And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night /
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're alright /
And I feel so alone, and I feel so alone out here /
I feel so alone, I feel so alone out here /
And I feel so alone without you, I'm so alone out here /
I feel so alone, I feel so alone /
I'm so alone out here without you, baby /
