lyrics

You’ve gone, you’ve gone to the rain-soaked South, you’ve got nothin’ to hold you here
And all the words are stuck in my mouth and they’re kept there by the fear

That you’re gonna make me lonesome, you’re gonna make me blue
You’re gonna make me lonesome, but I can take it,
Just because it’s you

And we sat and talked over beer and cake about our friendship, and where you’d been
Now there’s a storm rollin’ right ‘cross the lake, but you're home in bed with him

And you’re gonna make me lonesome, you’re gonna make me sad
You’re gonna make me lonesome, but I can take it
Alone ain’t so bad

Now I often see you at 3 AM, and you’re smokin’ those cigarettes
Impossibly small and impossibly thin, alone on the concrete step

And you’re gonna make me lonesome, you’re gonna make me blue
You’re gonna make me lonesome but I can take it
I thought I knew you

And we’ve spent so much time goin’ through that same routine
You’ll give up to me, you’ll see
You’ll give up to me, and I’ll find out what you really think

You’re gonna make me lonesome, you’re gonna make me cry
You’re gonna make me lonesome but I can take it
I love to live the lie
