Instant Loneliness
I watch it's three a.m. I know she's waitin' up againOn the road I'm wonderin' what I'm gonna sayFunny how the light's not turnin' maybe this time she'll be sleepin'In the drive I'm wonderin' if she's okayThe house looks dark to me as I fumble for the keyNow inside an empty chair is all I seeIn the kitchen on the table there's a letter and Lord I'm shakin'Cause she's cried and wrote she's tired of waitin' for meInstant loneliness all around me certainly my whole world has slipped awayInstant loneliness where she should be and this instant loneliness is hurtin' meShe once said to me that she'd grow tired some dayThis empty house echoes the words she used to sayIn the hallway there's a toy and a picture of the babyA reminder of how much she took awayInstant loneliness all around me,Yes this instant loneliness is hurtin' me From Letras Mania
