lyrics

Lonesome Song
by Dan Simpson

Used to be you were right here on my arm
Used to be such a sucker for my charm
Used to be bright eyes and a soft smile
But I haven’t seen them for a little while

So go on your life is your own
So go on with your heart made of stone
So go on let our dreams pass away
They were never much help anyway

Not long ago you were right here by my side
You always said I had to give more of my life
Maybe you were right perhaps I was wrong
‘cause now I’m here singing this lonesome song

Go away take all your pain
Go away and take your silly game
Go away and take all my pride
It’s not much use to me on this lonesome ride

Maybe next time I’ll give a little more
Maybe next time a little better than before
Maybe next time you’ll decide to stay
And I can put this lonesome song away

Not long ago you were right here by my side
You always said I had to give more of my life
Maybe you were right perhaps I was wrong
’Cause I’m still here singing this lonesome song
Thinking about what I done wrong
