You can tell that I've been lonesome, you could say that I've been blue
Looking at my fingers, they're worn right through
You can tell I ain't been sleeping, I've been crying too
You can tell that I've been lonesome, you could say that I've been blue

Darlin since you left me, I ain't looking my best
Bloodshot eyes and trembling hands, smell the bourbon on my breath
I wish that I could talk to you, tired of talking to myself
The dream I had for us dear has become a living hell

Happy is not the word for the way that I feel
You cut me so deeply these wounds may never heal
The damage has been done, the hurting's just begun
My life is in danger, I fear the worst is yet to come

You can tell that I've been lonesome, you could say that I've been blue
Looking at my fingers, they're worn right through
You can tell I ain't been sleeping, I've been crying too
You can tell that I've been lonesome, you could say that I've been blue"
