100%

Lonesome won't get the best of me
I won't lay around this empty house and grieve
My mind has been made up my heart has had enough
Lonesome won't get the best of me
Lonesome won't get the best of me

I swear sometimes I hear you talkin' in my sleep
And see your ghost apassin' in the hall
Everywhere I turn the blues are getting me
I gotta find a way to rise above it all

I'm tired of your memory messin' with my mind
Foolin' me that you were comin' back
Tonight I'm movin' on I've wasted too much time
I've spent my last days livin' in the past
