Right Now I Feel So Alone

He's sitting on the couch, watching the TV

Scattered pictures on the table, a fifth of whiskey by his feet

He doesn't know that in the bedroom, she packs her things to leave

And in a moment she is out the door, but he can't believe

There's a letter on his pillow as he's climbing into bed.

He sets the bottle down where she used to lay her head.

He fights the tears hard enough to read what it said.

But he couldn't stop the tears when he read:

CHORUS

Where did the one I love go?

The one that used to say, "Babe I love you so"

There used to be more love in you than I've ever known.

Right now I feel so all alone

He stumbles to the counter of the kitchen sink

Bottle of whisky in his hand as he takes a drink

He spots a picture on the fridge, of her and him

That summer day at the lake with all of their friends

He takes that bottle from his lips and pours it down the sink

He sits down at the table, and starts to think

He stares at the picture and remembers why

Before I started drinking, I was a different guy

CHORUS

Where did the one I love go?

The one that used to say, "Babe, I love you so"

There used to be more love in you than I've ever known.

Right now I feel so all alone

The next day she is at the door with a truck to get her things.

She hands him all her keys and her diamond ring.

She walks towards the door but before she grabs her coat

The tears begin to fall when she see's the answer to her note:

Where did the one you love go?

I am down her on my bended knees, babe I love you so

I'm sorry and I want you back, baby please don't go.

Don't make us feel so all alone.
