  • 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 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
    (When 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 all right

    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 Writer/s: Hayden Anhedönia
