lyrics

i suppose it's true that nobody ever lies
about feeling lonely
well, it doesn't hurt my pride
darling, i'm lonesome

it's hard to hold my head up sometimes
rain's coming down from that dark cloud
that has followed me my whole life
or haven't you noticed

i'm in some dark room right now
playing guitar for the drywall
thinking of all the ways I've let you down...

ain't that the truth, ain't that the way
blame it on the blues, that never go away
i guess that's the best, we're bound to get
it's not as we'd hoped, it's more than we can accept
some things can't be changed

i suppose you're right
you were better then I deserved at the time
and i was worse then I'd imagined
with that lonely old moon on the rise

you still get through the night
even without anyone at your side
now I complain more then I'll admit to
and i'm given to foolish pride

so let me collect my things
not everything can go as we plan
i'll head back out to that highway
with no certainty of where I'll land

ain't that the truth, ain't that the way
blame it on the blues, that never go away
i guess that's the best, we're bound to get
it's not as we'd hoped, it's more than we can accept
some things can't be changed
