I Just Get Lonely
Ronnie Dunn · Ronnie Dunn [2011]
I shouldn't be drinking
Things cross my mind
I don't need to be thinking
When it comes to you
I got a weak heart
It's hard going through
Being this far apart
The blues come and go on me
Baby, I just get lonely, lonely, oh
Oh, I try to fight it
I try not to call
I keep coming back
To what went wrong
Wish I could just let it
Go on and be over
I know I'll regret it
In the morning when I'm sober
It's hurt talking, it's not me, oh baby
I just get lonely, oh, I
The voice you're hearing
At the end of the line
It's just hurt talking
It's not mine
This moment of weakness
These things that I feel
It's not anything
Time won't heal
Oh, baby, I just get lonely, oh I
I just get lonely, oh
I just get lonely, oh
Lonely, lonely
