What Loneliness Is For

Lyrics to a sad country ballad.

What Loneliness Is For

I’m sitting alone and watching T.V.

This big old house seems so lonely

Nothing to do since you’ve gone away

Except pine for you day after day

My friends tell me to go out more

But, I can barely make it thru the door

Too many tears are filling up my eyes

Matching the rain falling from the skies

Everytime I hear the telephone ring

It reminds me of all the pain life can bring

If only I had just a few days more

I wouldn’t know what loneliness is for

Tonight it’s a month since you’ve been gone

Another day I don’t want to go on

My only friend is this bottle with me

So far I have yet to drink myself free

There’s a party nearby yet I’m still here

Stuck in this place with all of my fears

I couldn’t miss you more than I do

Color my heart and soul midnight blue

I know there are people suffering more 

That say my broken heart I should ignore

So I’ll leave it there and cry some more

Now that I know what loneliness is for….
